Cryakl ransomware file-encoding malware, more commonly known as ransomware, will encrypt your files. If you get your PC infected, you could lose access to your files permanently, so do take the infection seriously. Because of this, and the fact that getting infected is pretty easy, file encrypting malware is thought to be very dangerous. If you have it, it's very probably you opened a spam email attachment, pressed on an infected ad or fell for a bogus download. After it encodes your files, it'll request you to pay a ransom for a decryptor. Between $100 and $1000 is likely what will be demanded of you. Complying with the demands isn't something you should do, so consider all scenarios. Relying on criminals to recover your data would be naive, because they could simply take your money. We would not be surprised if you're left with encrypted files, and you would definitely not be the only one. This type of situation could reoccur, so consider buying backup, instead of complying with the demands. There are many options, and we are certain you will find one best suiting your needs. If backup is available, restoring data will not be a problem. This is not the last time you will get infected with some kind of malicious program, so you need to prepare. If you wish to stay safe, you have to become familiar with potential contaminations and how to guard your machine from them.
