Java NotDharma Ransomware will shortly start encrypting your files, as it is ransomware. It is a highly severe infection that can leave you with encoded data and no way to restore them. Another reason why ransomware is believed to be so dangerous is that threat is pretty easy to get. If you have recently opened a strange email attachment, pressed on a questionable advert or downloaded a program advertised on some shady website, that's how it infected your device. Soon after contamination, the encoding process starts, and once it is completed, you will be asked to pay a specific sum of money if you want to decrypt your files. The ransom varies from ransomware to ransomware, some demand $1000 or more, some may settle with $100. Giving into the demands is not something you be thinking about doing do, so think through all scenarios. It's quite doubtful criminals will have a moral responsibility to help you restore your files, so they may just take your money. You can definitely find accounts of users not getting files back after payment, and that's not really surprising. This kind of situation could reoccur, so instead of complying with the requests, think about investing into backup. A lot of backup options are available for you, you just need to choose the one best suiting you. And if by accident you had made copies of your data before the infection took place, simply delete Java NotDharma Ransomware and then proceed to data recovery. This is not likely to be the last time malicious software will infect your computer, so you need to prepare. To guard a computer, one should always be on the lookout for possible threats, becoming familiar with their spread methods.
