.BESUB file virus is a malware that will encode your files, generally known as ransomware. Depending on what type of ransomware it is, you might not be able to access your files again. It is quite easy to get infected, which only adds to why it is so dangerous. Users often get infected via spam emails, infected advertisements or bogus downloads. Once the encryption has been completed, victims are asked to pay a ransom, which would supposedly lead to file decryption. You will probably be requested to pay a minimum of a couple hundred dollars, depending on what ransomware you have, and how much you value your data. Even if a small sum is demanded of you, we don’t recommend complying. Don’t forget these are crooks you’re dealing with and they could simply take your money and not provide anything in return.

How does data encoding malicious software spread

Most ransomware rely on the most basic spread methods, which include spam email attachments and infected ads/downloads. Nevertheless, you might encounter more sophisticated methods too.

If you can recall opening a file which you got from an apparently real email in the spam folder, that may be how the ransomware managed to infect. Once you open the infected file, the file encrypting malicious software will be able to begin the encryption process. Those emails might be written in a convincing way, often covering money topics, which is why people open them in the first place. The use of basic greetings (Dear Customer/Member), prompts to open the file added, and evident mistakes in grammar are what you need to look out for when dealing with emails with attached files. Your name would certainly be used in the greeting if the sender was from some legitimate company whose email ought to be opened. It wouldn’t be surprising to see names such as Amazon or PayPal used, because when people notice a known name, they are more likely to let down their guard. It’s also not outside the realms of possibility that you pressed on some dangerous advertisement when on a suspicious web page, or downloaded something from an unreliable page. Certain websites could be harboring infected adverts, which if engaged with might cause malware to download. Or you might have downloaded a file encrypting malicious program-infected file from an unreliable source. Bear in mind that you ought to never download anything, whether programs or an update, from weird sources, such as adverts. If an application needed to update itself, it wouldn’t alert you through browser, it would either update by itself, or alert you via the program itself.

What happened to your files?

It is not impossible for ransomware to permanently encode data, which is why it’s an infection you want to definitely avoid. It has a list of target files, and their encryption will take a very short time. You’ll see that your files have an extension attached to them, which will help you figure out which ransomware you’re dealing with. The reason why your files might be not possible to decrypt for free is because strong encoding algorithms might be used for the encryption process, and it is not always possible to break them. A ransom note will then appear on your screen, or will be found in folders that have encrypted files, and it should explain everything, or at least attempt to. It’ll encourage you to buy a decryption program, but whatever the price is, we do not advise paying it. The hackers may simply take your money, they will not feel obligated to aid you. You would also support their, in addition to potentially losing your money. The easy money is constantly luring hackers to the business, which is estimated to have made more than $1 billion in 2016. You may want to consider buying backup with that money instead. Situations where your files are endangered might occur all the time, and you would not need to worry about file loss if you had backup. Uninstall .BESUB file virus if you believe it is still inhabiting your system, instead of complying with the demands. If you become familiar with the spread methods of this infection, you ought to be able to avoid them in the future.
