Horros ransomware is a file-encrypting kind of malicious program, generally known as ransomware. These kinds of infections should be taken seriously, as they could result in you losing your data. It's pretty easy to get contaminated, which makes it a highly dangerous malicious software. If you have recently opened a strange email attachment, pressed on a dubious ad or downloaded an 'update' advertised on some untrustworthy site, that is how you likely picked up the infection. And once it is launched, it will start its data encoding process, and when the process is finished, you will be asked to buy a utility to decode data, which ought to in theory recover your data. You might be requested to pay $50, or $1000, depending on which file encoding malicious program you have. Consider everything carefully before you agree to pay, even if it asks for a small amount. Do not forget these are criminals you're dealing with and they might just take your money and not give anything in exchange. You certainly wouldn't be the only person to be left with no recovered files after payment. Instead of paying, you should buy backup. There are many options, and you are sure to find the most appropriate one. You can recover files after you uninstall Horros ransomware if you had backup already prior to infection. This isn't likely to be the last time malicious software will infect your system, so you ought to be ready. To keep a device safe, one should always be ready to encounter possible threats, becoming familiar with their spread methods.
