SystemCrypter ransomware will shortly begin encoding your files, as it is ransomware. It's not an infection to take casually as it may leave your data permanently encoded. Because of this, and the fact that getting infected is quite easy, file encoding malware is thought to be very dangerous. If you have recently opened a strange email attachment, pressed on a suspicious advert or downloaded an 'update' promoted on some untrustworthy web page, that is how you possibly picked up the threat. When the encryption process is finished, victims are asked to pay a ransom, which would supposedly lead to data decryption. Between $100 and $1000 is probably what will be demanded of you. Even if a minor sum is asked of you, we do not recommend giving in. It isn't 100% guaranteed you will get your files back, even after paying, considering you can't prevent cyber crooks from simply taking your money. You would not be the only person to get nothing. Instead of complying with the requests, you should buy backup with requested money. From external hard drives to cloud storage, there are plenty of backup options out there, you just need to pick the one best suiting your needs. Just eliminate SystemCrypter ransomware, and if you had backup before the infection, you may restore data from there. These threats are everywhere, so you need to be prepared. To keep a machine safe, one should always be on the lookout for possible malware, becoming informed about their spread methods.
