The files encrypted by the malicious Frozrlock Ransomware can be very hard to identify because they are not marked with a unique extension, which is what usually happens when ransomware encrypts files. Because of that, the only way to know which files were corrupted by this threat is by trying to open every single file. Of course, the chances are that every single file on your computer – except Windows elements and files in %WINDIR%f – was encrypted. This malicious threat, of course, targets documents, media files, and photos first, but it can also corrupt the files of downloaded applications. Due to this, you might find that you can no longer use your browser and other apps. While you can restore your web browser, restoring personal files might be more complicated. Hopefully, these files are backed up; otherwise, they might be lost for good. Continue reading to learn all about the encryption of your files, as well as how to delete Frozrlock Ransomware (also known as FileFrozr Ransomware). Read more »

Do you have 1862 US Dollars just lying around? If you do not, fulfilling the demands of the BitKangoroo Ransomware might be complicated. When this devious infection slithers in, it encrypts your files and then requests a payment of 1 Bitcoin – which, at the moment, translates to the sum above – to be paid within an hour. Even if money is not an issue, paying the ransom is risky because it is unlikely that the promised decryption key would be provided to you after paying it. Needless to say, you are in a sticky situation if this ransomware has invaded your operating system and encrypted your files. The good news is that you should be able to find a decryptor that can decrypt your files for free, and that is not something that happens often. Hopefully, you manage to get your files decrypted, and you can delete BitKangoroo Ransomware without any hesitation. Note that if your files are freed, the malicious components are still active, and you will not be safe until you remove them from your PC. Read more »

RSAUtil Ransomware is a severe threat that can be responsible for rendering most of your files unusable. Once this beast manages to infiltrate your system, it can initiate the attack behind your back and encrypt your photos, videos, documents, archives, and even your .exe files to take them hostage. The main idea behind it is obviously extorting money from you for the decryption of your files. When it comes to ransomware infections it is important to understand that even if you have a backup copy of your most important files on a removable drive, it has to be always unplugged when not in use. Such a ransomware program can attack all mapped drives and unmapped network shares as well. So, if your removable drive is connected, you could lose all your files on it to this malicious attack. Also, some ransomware infections are capable of logging into your cloud storage account and destroy your files there. Although you are offered a way out of this vicious threat by paying a ransom fee to these criminals, we suggest that you do not consider it as an option. There is a good chance that these crooks would send more infections onto your computer disguised as a decryption tool or key. We recommend that you remove RSAUtil Ransomware immediately so that you can start recovering your files if you have a backup. Read more »

Files marked by an additional extension called .amnesia could only mean the user has encountered a file-encrypting malicious application known as Amnesia Ransomware. If you happen to be one of these unfortunate users, we advise you no to fund the hackers behind Amnesia Ransomware.

However, if you still have doubts, it might be best to read the article first. Read more »

Mikoyan Ransomware, also known to be Mikoyan Encryptor, is a recently detected ransomware-type infection based on Hidden Tear, an open-source ransomware developed for educational purposes.

Are you reading this article because you have encountered this threat and found your files encrypted? If so, go to uninstall Mikoyan Ransomware without consideration and do not send a cent to its author for the decryption of files although it might seem to be the easiest way to get files back because there are no guarantees that your files will be unlocked for you or that you will receive a key for unlocking them.
