After settling in, the malware ought to encrypt all personal files located on a computer, and then it ought to show the mentioned message that we call a ransom note. As you might have guessed, the text ought to say a user needs to pay a ransom. In exchange, the malware’s developers may offer decryption tools, but what you should know is that there are no guarantees they will deliver the promised tools. We discuss the mentioned terms and risks further in the article, so if you wish to know more about what happens if Rsalive Ransomware gets in and what could be your options, we recommend reading the rest of this article.

Like most ransomware applications, Rsalive Ransomware might be spread via spam emails, malicious file-sharing web pages, and so on. It means that the number-one thing you ought to do if you do not want to be tricked into launching such threats is to keep away from untrustworthy data. Email attachments or emails with links coming from Spam or senders you do not know should be interacted with carefully. In fact, it is best not to interact with suspicious material until you know it is one hundred percent safe to do so. To be this sure, you could scan questionable files with a reliable antimalware tool of your choice. Another thing we highly recommend is keeping away from P2P file-sharing web pages and websites alike. Such sites may distribute bundled software installers that could contain malware, so it is safer to obtain the programs you might need from legitimate sites that do not distribute pirated applications, torrents, etc.

Upon entering a system, Rsalive Ransomware should start encrypting data considered to be private. For example, it could be your photos, documents, audio and video files, etc. All of the affected files should be marked with the .rsalive extension to make it easy to recognize it. Such data should become unrecognizable, which is why your computer ought to be unable to launch it. Soon enough, the malware should display the earlier mentioned ransom note, which is supposed to be called HOW TO RECOVER ENCRYPTED FILES.TXT or similarly. In this note, the hackers behind the malware should ask you to pay for decryption tools that could decrypt all files affected by Rsalive Ransomware. Unfortunately, you should be asked to pay first, which means if you pay a ransom, you will have to trust that the hackers will bother delivering the promised decryption tools and that they will not start asking for more money or think of something else. What we are trying to say is that paying a ransom could be very risky and you should not do so if you do not want to risk getting tricked.

If you have no wish to pay to the hackers who encrypted your files and made it impossible to access them, we can help you eliminate Rsalive Ransomware. The instructions located below show how to delete the malicious application manually. Naturally, if you think the process is too complicated, you could install a reliable security tool and have it remove Rsalive Ransomware for you.
