Remove Fantom Ransomware

Fantom Ransomware is a dangerous threat that penetrates into computers with the intent to encrypt images, documents and other valuable files. All encrypted files are the new file name extension. have Fantom in addition to her original name, for example photo.jpg. Fantom. It takes so long until you understand that something is wrong. Only names differ by ransomware infections, because Act all threats of this category in the same way, i.e. they have been programmed to get money from the users. Fantom Ransomware is no exception; It encrypts files and then asks the user to pay the ransom. The amount of the ransom, which is required by this infection is unknown at the time of this writing, because the user must contact the cyber criminals by email at Fantomd12@yandex.ru or Fantom12@techechmail.com for further instructions. We our experience shows the decryptor is never cheap. Could be his price up to five Bitcoin high to be, what about $2886 corresponds to. Nevertheless, even if it turns out that the ransom, which requires the Ransomware Fantom by users, is less a lot, we do not recommend that you make the payment. You should remove instead fully this infection from your computer, in order to protect all future files. Then you should download the free software to recover the files from the Web. They should try to use them, but get very little hope, because this computer infection used both RSA-4096 and AIS-256, which means that the code is very difficult to unlock.

As the research that has been shown by the specialists at 2-delete-spyware.com, the Fantom of Ransomware is not very different from other Ransomware infections that their main goal is to get why she immediately encrypts valuable files on your computer if it has found a way into the computer money from users. Of course it includes also some other features, for example, it creates the file DECRYPT_YOUR_FILES instead of changing the desktop background. It contains HTML, the instructions how to decrypt those files are. The ransom message informs the user that the files that are encrypted are, uses the algorithm, “which is used to protect military service” (“military services protection used for”) which and this means that “the recovery of your data is just might be possible, if you buy the decryption password from us” (“restore your data possible only buying decryption passwords from US”). The user can find five steps you must follow to decrypt the files.

1. Sent Your ID_KEY on mailbox fantomd12@yandex.ru or fantom12@techemail.com 2. For test, decrypt 2 small files, to be sure that we can decrypt you files. 3. Pay our services. 4. GET software with passwords for decrypt you files. 5. Make measures to prevent this type situations again.

In addition, the Ransomware Fantom in a sense is unique in that it mimics the Windows update procedure while she encrypted the files. In other words, it opens the fake window:

Configuring critical Windows Updates % complete Do not turn off your computer.

Specialists suspect that this is done to hold the user, to restart your computer or download to drive, and thus the encryption process to finish. If you fear that you have enabled the Fantom Ransomware to penetrate into your computer and see the fake update window, you can type ALT + tab, open the Task Manager and terminate the WindowsUpdate.exe process. If you do this, this threat can no longer perform their task, to encrypt i.e. all photos, documents, and other files that it finds on the computer.

Even if it seems that the best solution to the problem is to contact the cyber criminals on one of the displayed E-Mail addresses and then to pay the ransom, we do not believe that it would be very clever to send them money, because no one knows whether the decryptor does exist. The cyber criminals will also continue to develop malware if they continue to get what they want. If you decide not to support the cyber criminals, you should try to use a free tool or back-up to restore the files from, for example an external hard drive. Before trying alternative methods, you must delete the Fantom Ransomware entirely.

The Fantom of Ransomware also like other dangerous computer infections without consent penetrates into the computer. Researchers have revealed that this infection is; most commonly spread through P2P networks and spam emails you could find also other ways to penetrate into your computer, for example it could be filed by a so-called Trojan branch in your system. It could be may not be enough, to be careful to avoid that malware penetrates in the future in the system, which is why we recommend installing security software on the computer. Also never open spam emails!

Fortunately, the Fantom Ransomware sets only a file WindowsUpdate.exe in the directory % temp %, as soon as it is in the computer. It should be not too difficult to remove this infection. The encrypted personal files are for you not unlocked, but you must remove anyway as soon as possible the malware, to experience no further problems. When you are finished with the Fantom of Ransomware, you should scan your computer with an automatic antimalware scanner to delete all other threats. You may not know that they are in your system.
