![]() Others that use cryptolockers to encrypt your data (a bit like using a password to protect your data only you don't know what the password is or where to even start looking), these can be a real problem to remove and in some cases it just is not possible. This leads to a whole host of other problems relating to identity theft. Plus you are handing over your card details to a bunch of crooks in order to restore access. It can totally lock you out of the machine and will demand a ransom for you to get to your data. The issue is that this access is unlikely to be permanent and once they are in they can lock you out again at any time. Ransomware is a nasty piece of sorftware that can be used in conjuction with a cryptolocker to prevent you getting access to your data. We agree with Malwarebytes that Ransomware is growing and we are seeing more and more customers with Ransomware issues in the early part of 2017. Malwarebytes have forewarned that a particular type of Malware called Ransomware will rule the roost of nasties in 2017 and we happen to agree. This software is designed to specifically target Malware - this is the nasty stuff online these days. We tell all our customers to use Malwarebytes to protect them against online threats. In an increasingly online world the risks are always rising. Many people do not realise the risk that they are in by using the internet. These wrong believers help to spread malware online by not protecting themselves and their devices. If you are using the internet regardless of whether you connect using Windows PCs, Apple Macbooks, Linux Systems, Apple Iphones, Android phones and tablets or any combination of the above you are communicating online and therefore opening yourself to risk. There are a certain strain of Apple product users that are under this belief that they do not need protection as their product is an Apple. Malware is something that should be taken into account by all internet users despite the device in use. Posted in Information guides by Kelly on 15:16 Feb 15th, 2017
