Bigdata ransomware will encode your files, since it's ransomware. It really depends on which ransomware is to blame, but you might end up permanently losing your files. What's worse is that it's very easy to infect your computer. Opening spam email attachments, pressing on malicious adverts and bogus downloads are the most typical reasons why ransomware may be able to infect. When the encryption has been carried out, a ransom note will appear and you will be asked to pay in exchange for a method to decrypt your data. The sum of money requested varies from ransomware to ransomware, some demand $1000 or more, some could settle with $100. Whatever sum is requested of you, consider the situation cautiously before you do. It's not 100% guaranteed you'll get your files back, even after paying, considering there's nothing preventing cyber criminals from simply taking your money. If your data still remains encrypted after paying, it wouldn't be that shocking. Look into some backup options, so that if this situation was to occur again, you you would not lose your files. You will find a big array of backups available but we're sure you will be able to find one that's right for you. For those who did take the time to back up data prior to infection, simply remove Bigdata ransomware and recover files from where you're storing them. This isn't likely to be the last time you will get contaminated with some kind of malicious program, so you have to prepare. In order to guard a machine, one must always be ready to encounter possible threats, becoming familiar with their spread methods.
