Remove FinalRansomware Virus and Restore Windows

A new virus by the name FinalRansomware has surfaced on the web. If you have the virus on your Windows computer, you must delete it as soon as possible. The virus uses the .encrpyted extension, and all infected files will carry it. The virus can target most versions of Windows.

FinalRansomware – How Did I Get It?

The crooks behind the FinalRansomware scam will try to infect you by various means. The most common methods are:

• Email Spam – the crooks send emails that look like they were sent from a legit company like PayPal or Amazon.
• Update spam – the crooks mask the virus to look like a Chrome, Skype, or Word update.
• Pirated malware – illegally copied content often includes viruses like FinalRansomware.

All of these methods of distribution are possible, but the first one is the most effective and heavily utilized by scammers.

The problems that FinalRansomware will pose to your computer are:

• Encryption – the virus will encrypt your files with the strong AES algorithm, rending them useless without a key-code. Think of it like a math equation that remains unsolved until you utilize the right tech.
• Slowing down of your system – the virus will consume a lot of your computer’s resources so that it can continue the locking of your computer.
• Backdoor exploits – most ransomware viruses will include other malware that can do many things, including spying on you and getting your personal information (passwords, bank accounts, etc.)

The virus will target files that have a high-potential of being valuable – documents, audio files, videos, etc. Files that are used by professional programs like Photoshop, Premiere, Final Cut, or similar software are also targeted by ransomware viruses for their high value to freelancers and professionals.
