CryptoKill Ransomware
CryptoKill Ransomware is a file-encrypting computer infection which has been, most probably, developed for testing purposes.

In other words, it encrypts files placed in this folder, so if such a folder does not exist on the system, it does not do anything harmful. Of course, it still opens a window with a message, but it can be easily closed. ...
