syndicateXXX@aol.com Ransomware Removal Guide

syndicateXXX@aol.com Ransomware could show a message saying your files were encrypted and that you have to pay for decryption if you wish to get them back. While it is true that the malware encrypts user data, you do not have to necessarily pay a ransom. In fact, we recommend not to, for you do not want to risk losing their money in vain. As you see, even if you do as hackers tell you, no one can still guarantee you will get the promised decryption tools. Of course, it is only up to you to decide what to do, and if you want to know more about this malicious application first, we encourage you to read the rest of this report. As for users who decide they do not want to put up with any demands, we can offer instructions showing how to remove syndicateXXX@aol.com Ransomware manually that you can find at the end of the article.

The malicious application could be distributed via email or malicious websites. For instance, syndicateXXX@aol.com Ransomware’s installer could be disguised as a text document, an image, or a software installer. Meaning, users could be tricked into launching it and infecting their systems. To avoid making such a mistake, we recommend being extra careful with all data coming from unreliable sources. When in doubt, it is a good idea to scan suspicious files with a reliable security tool so it could tell you whether they are as dangerous as you think or not. If the scanned data is malicious, the antimalware tool ought to help you get rid of it safely.

However, if a user opens a file carrying syndicateXXX@aol.com Ransomware without scanning it first, it might infect a computer at once. Our researchers say it does not create any additional files, which means it might go straight to encrypting user’s data. Like most of such threats, it targets files that are supposed to be valuable to the victim, for example, photos, videos, archives, and so on. As for program data, it should not be encrypted to avoid making the system unbootable. As you see, once the malware finishes encrypting data on a device, it should show a ransom note. At the top of it, users should see an image of a golden lock and a sentence saying: “All your files have been encrypted!” below it.

What’s more, syndicateXXX@aol.com Ransomware’s ransom note should also explain how the malware locked user’s data and what needs to be done to get it back. To be more precise, the cybercriminals should ask to contact them via email and then pay a ransom. The note might claim the hackers can decrypt a particular amount of files free of charge as a guarantee, but you should know that in reality, there are no reassurances. The scenario is always the same; the user pays first, and then he is supposed to wait for the promised decryption tools. The problem is, the hackers may not bother sending them, but they can still take the money as there is no way to get it back.
