Teeny Ransomware
It is extremely important that you protect your operating system against Teeny Ransomware because this malicious threat is capable of rewriting the master boot record (MBR) of Windows, which can paralyze the entire system.

Spiteful Doubletake Ransomware
Photos, videos, documents, and various other kinds of files could all go under the knife of Spiteful Doubletake Ransomware if you were not careful. This malicious threat is a ransomware that encrypts files, and that means that it is capable of employing an encryption algorithm to ensure that data is corrupted and files become unreadable. The purpose of this kind of attack is to push victims against the wall and make them pay a ransom in return for their files. In some cases, malicious programs only pose as file encryptors, and some threats (e.g., Unit09 Ransomware) wipe files, which means that it is not even possible to decrypt them. ...
