THT ransomware will encode your files, as that is the prime intention of ransomware. You have got a very severe contamination on your hands, and it may lead to severe trouble, such as permanent data loss. It's very easy to get contaminated, which makes it a highly dangerous malware. Data encrypting malicious program creators target hasty users, as infection often happens by opening an infected email attachment, clicking on a malicious advertisement or falling for fake 'downloads'. Once the encoding process is completed, a ransom note will be delivered to you, asking you to pay for data decryption. How much is demanded of you depends on the ransomware, you might be demanded to pay $50 or a some thousands of dollars. Consider everything carefully before agreeing to pay, even if it asks for a small sum. Trusting cyber criminals to keep their word and restore your files would be naive, as they might just take your money. You would certainly not be the first person to get nothing. Instead of complying with the demands, you should consider investing part of the money into backup. You can find all kinds of backup options, and we're certain you can find one that's right for you. Just terminate THT ransomware, and if you had backup prior to infection, file restoration should not be an issue. You will come across malicious program like this all over, and infection is likely to occur again, so the least you could do is be ready for it. To guard a device, one must always be ready to run into potential threats, becoming familiar with their spread methods.
