Assembly Ransomware file-encrypting malicious program, generally known as ransomware, will encrypt your files. If your device becomes contaminated, you may permanently lose access to your files, so it isn't to be taken lightly. Another reason why it's considered to be a highly harmful malicious software is that it's quite easy to obtain the threat. If you have recently opened a weird email attachment, pressed on a infected advertisement or downloaded an 'update' promoted on some untrustworthy website, that is how it contaminated your system. And once it is launched, it will launch its data encoding process, and when the process is complete, you will be requested to buy a decryptor, which in theory should recover your data. Between $100 and $1000 is probably what you'll be asked to pay. Consider everything carefully before complying with the demands, even if it asks for very little money. Do not trust cyber crooks to keep their word and recover your files, since there's nothing stopping them from simply taking your money. We wouldn't be surprised if you were left with locked data, and there would be plenty more like you. Backup would be a much wiser investment, since you wouldn't be risking losing your data if the situation were to reoccur. You will find a big array of backups available but we are sure you can find one that's right for you. You can restore data from backup if you had it available prior to infection, after you remove Assembly Ransomware. You'll come across malware like this all over, and contamination is likely to happen again, so the least you could do is be ready for it. In order to keep a system safe, one should always be ready to run into possible malware, becoming familiar with their spread methods.
