Sigrun Ransomware is a malicious file-encrypting program that can ruin all private files available on the device. It leaves alone only the data belonging to the computer’s operating system or other software and all executable files no matter in which folder they are. Such files should not be marked with the malware’s extension (.sigrun) as it should be used to mark enciphered files only. What’s more, after the encryption process is over, the malicious program may display a ransom note. According to our researchers at Anti-spyware-101.com, it should claim the victim has to email the hackers if he wants to get his files back.

As always to help you with this task we prepared detailed deletion instructions located a bit below this text. Read more »

This infection has been designed to extract money from users, so it will surely lock all your valuable files on your PC if it finds a way to affect it. Ransomware infections usually lock victims’ documents and almost all media files. In some cases, they notice that they can no longer access certain programs too because .exe files get encrypted as well. It is hard to say whether Scarab-Oblivion Ransomware will lock all your personal files or not, but we are sure that the majority of them will be no longer accessible.
