Getting IT Help is the Surefire Way to Deal with Cryptolocker Infection

Posted by: Roy Jenkinson, February 6, 2017

Who isn’t into technology lately? Everywhere we go, there are all sorts of electronics used on a daily basis, meant to simplify our lives and they’ve become such an indispensable part of us that even kids as young as toddlers know how to use them to a certain point. This along with the increased quality of life is undeniably leading to a rise in the intelligence of the population worldwide. Positive things aside, this reliance on electronics can lead to a sense of addiction with certain individuals, including devastation when a technical glitch occurs. What is one to do in such situation?

Cryptolocker-

When it comes to problems of the sort in a company, you’d consider getting the services of IT repairs professionals, but with problems at home we usually prefer taking matters into our hands which only ends up worsening the situation in most instances, particularly when it’s a virus infection in the likes of a cryptolocker. This is the kind of malicious virus that doesn’t just affect your computer but your pocket too, due to a ransom demand. You may try to remove cryptolocker yourself but even if you get to pay, it doesn’t mean you’d receive the private key necessary to decrypt so losing your files is the sort of certainty you’re not hoping for.

If you haven’t yet had this infection, you can take safety precautions and prevent it by not clicking on links inside email messages from companies, falsely hiding behind famous companies such as FedEx, Facebook and AusPost. If you do get into the trap of receiving a PDF file that immediately encrypts a file of the same extension and takes you to a ransom page, the best thing to do is turn off your computer and get professional help to remove cryptolocker and save your data and money. Furthermore, IT specialists can give you the advice you need regarding the best antivirus programs and additional protection, as software restriction and AppLocker policies, you should get.

Another loss that’s bound to happen along with money and files when this virus attacks is time, and the longer the decrypting is delayed, the more time goes to waste. Instead of letting more damage be done, it’s advisable to find an IT company you trust beforehand so you know who you can count on when needed and it certainly doesn’t hurt staying up to date with tech changes in the world of criminals too. When you have the info of the possible cyber threats and attacks, you know what you have to do to avoid them.
