Jest ransomware ransomware is a file-encoding piece of malicious software that will cause a lot of harm. It's a very dangerous threat, and it may lead to severe trouble, like permanent file loss. It's pretty easy to infect your system, which only adds to why it's so dangerous. A large factor in a successful ransomware infiltration is user neglect, as infection generally infects via spam email attachments, infected ads and malicious downloads. Once the encoding process has been finished, you will get a ransom note, asking you money for a decryptor. Depending on what kind of ransomware has infiltrated your system, the money requested will differ. We don't advise paying, no matter how minor the amount is. Consider whether you will actually get your files back after payment, considering there is nothing preventing criminals from simply taking your money. There are many accounts of users getting nothing after complying with the demands. This may easily happen again, so instead of complying with the requests, think about investing into backup. From external hard drives to cloud storage, you have plenty of options, all you need to do is pick. If you had backup prior to infection, data restoration will be possible after you delete Jest ransomware. This isn't likely to be the last time you'll get infected with some kind of malware, so you have to be ready. To keep a computer safe, one should always be on the lookout for potential malware, becoming informed about their spread methods.
