Pizzacrypts Ransomware

Pizzacrypts Ransomware

Pizzacrypts Ransomware, according to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, is one of the latest examples of ransomware. Our research has revealed that this dangerous infection is mainly spread via corrupted spam emails, but we do not refuse the possibility that different methods of distribution are employed by this threat. The creators of this malicious ransomware rely on silent entrance to ensure that that it initiates file encryption without user’s notice. Once the encryption is complete, not much can be done because the decryption key is kept in secret. If you do not have the key, you cannot restore your personal files, and this is what is meant to force you into paying the ransom. Now, if you pay this ransom, there is a possibility that your files would remain encrypted. After all, the cyber criminals behind this infection want your money, and they do not care about you. As soon as they get the money, they could move on to other scams without decrypting your files first. So, what are your options and how should you remove Pizzacrypts Ransomware?
