Monaki Ransomware file-encoding malware, usually known as ransomware, will encode your files. It is a serious threat that can leave you with encoded data and no way to get them back. Another reason why it's considered to be a highly dangerous malware is that the infection is pretty easy to get. File encrypting malware creators target reckless users, as contamination usually infiltrates through spam email attachments, dangerous advertisements and malicious downloads. And once it's opened, it will start encrypting your files, and once the process is finished, you will be asked to buy a way to decrypt data, which will supposedly recover your files. Depending on what kind of ransomware has infiltrated your computer, the money asked will be different. Whether you are asked for a lot of money, or a insignificant amount, complying with the demands isn't something we advise doing. Consider whether you will actually get your data back after payment, considering you can't prevent cyber criminals from just taking your money. If your data still remains locked after paying, it would not be that shocking. This kind of thing might reoccur or something may happen to your system, so it would be much better to invest the money into some kind of backup. You'll be presented with a lot of backup options, all you have to do is choose the right one. If backup is available, recovering data will not be a problem. This is not the last time malicious software will enter your machine, so you have to prepare.
