Vvoa Ransomware
Vvoa Ransomware shows no mercy once it invades a vulnerable Windows system, as it immediately encrypts all personal files. Whether it is a work document, a project for school, or an important photo from your childhood, this malware encrypts it, and that ensures that you cannot read it anymore. The goal is not to destroy your files but to make you pay for a decryptor that, allegedly, would restore the files. Unfortunately, cybercriminals are schemers, and they are likely to promise a decryptor just so that you would give up your savings. That is how Vpsh Ransomware, Agho Ransomware, Sglh Ransomware, and many other infections from the STOP Ransomware family operate as well. ...
Agho Ransomware
Agho Ransomware is one of the thousands of infections that have been created to corrupt documents, videos, presentations, projects, notes, photos, and other personal files. These infections corrupt these kinds of files because they intend to hit victims where it hurts most. If system files were corrupted, they could be replaced, and the system could be reinstalled. However, when personal files are encrypted, victims might panic and fall into despair. That is a recipe for disaster because cybercriminals know that it is easier to scam people who are more vulnerable. ...
Bepabepababy Ransomware
Bepabepababy Ransomware is an infection that was created to encrypt your personal files, and in order to access them, this infection has to enter your system. Without a doubt, it must do that silently, and that cannot be done with trusted anti-malware software installed. If such software is installed, it should automatically locate and remove Bepabepababy Ransomware before it is even launched and a single file is encrypted. So, if this malware has slithered in and has successfully encrypted your files, your system’s security must be lacking. Well, if you so choose, you can have the system protected and the malicious file-encrypting infection deleted all at once. ...
Snopy Ransomware
Snopy Ransomware is a malicious computer infection that should be part of the Xorist Ransomware family. This dangerous program enters the target system having only one purpose in mind: money. When it encrypts target files, it says that user has to pay the ransom, or else they will never see their files again. Luckily there is a public decryption tool that allow us to decrypt the files affected by this program. After that, we should focus on removing Snopy Ransomware from the infected system. You can do it either manually or with a reliable security application. ...
Leitkcad Ransomware
If you’re reading this entry, you’re probably infected with Leitkcad Ransomware or any other ransomware program, looking for ways to deal with it. The main problem with ransomware infections is that they are relatively easy to remove, but it is quite hard to restore the files once they have been encrypted. Unless there is a public decryption key or you have a file backup, it might be impossible to unlock the files that were encrypted by Leitkcad Ransomware. Hence, whenever you deal with a ransomware infection, you have to realize that there’s always a chance you’ll have to start building your library from scratch. ...
Mifr Ransomware
Mifr Ransomware is an obscure ransomware infection that follows the most common ransomware distribution and infection patterns. This program successfully encrypts target files and then bullies the affected users into paying the ransom fee. Security experts recommend removing Mifr Ransomware from the affected system immediately, as dealing with these criminals might be a rather shady business. Also, if you have a file backup, you should be able to retrieve your files almost immediately. If not, do not hesitate to address a professional for other file recovery options. No matter what you do, do not succumb to the criminal demands. ...
Banjo Ransomware
Have you done absolutely everything to protect your Windows system against Banjo Ransomware? If you have not, but this malware has not invaded the system yet, we suggest that you immediately create copies of all important files and store them away. Also, you must implement reliable security software to help you guard the system against silent and clandestine invaders. Furthermore, you need to be vigilant about any random pop-ups, installers, and spam emails you could be exposed to. Finally, update your system and the installed software because unpatched vulnerabilities can open up security backdoors. ...
v315 Ransomware
v315 Ransomware will encrypt your files and it will wait until you pay 70 USD to get them back. This malicious infection does not play around, but you shouldn’t follow its rules. It only wants you to think that it can destroy your files if you try other recovery methods. However, if you have copies of your files saved someplace else, you can restore your data from the backup, and you can remove v315 Ransomware right now, no questions asked. Do not hesitate to take definite action against these infections because they will not show mercy to you either. ...
Howareyou Ransomware
No one wants to experience a ransomware infection, but sometimes things like Howareyou Ransomware manage to enter our systems, and then we have to battle these threats. The prospects of this infection are rather bleak because it is not a high-profile program. It means that there is no public decryption tool available, and users have to look for ways to restore their files themselves. However, we hope that you will remove Howareyou Ransomware from your system as soon as possible because there is no need to listen to what this infection has to say. ...
GoIncognitoSearch
GoIncognitoSearch has nothing to do with anonymous/incognito browsing. It also has little to do with virtual searches. That, however, is not the only reason this extension is classified as a PUP – potentially unwanted program. If you installed it onto your Google Chrome browser, you must know that it offers nothing but a replacement for your default search provider, and, unfortunately, this is not the kind of change that can make your browsing experience better. On the contrary, if you use this tool, you are likely to put yourself in harm’s way. Have we convinced you to delete GoIncognitoSearch already? ...
