About this infection

Everbe ransomware file-encoding malicious program, often known as ransomware, will encrypt your data. Ransomware infections should be taken seriously, as they could lead to file loss. Another reason why it is thought to be a highly dangerous malicious software is that infection is quite easy to get. If you have recently opened a strange email attachment, clicked on a dubious advertisement or downloaded a program promoted on some untrustworthy website, that’s how it contaminated your device. After it encodes your data, it will request that you pay a ransom for a decryptor. The money you are asked to pay is likely to range from $100 to $1000, depending on the ransomware. Consider everything carefully before complying with the demands, even if it asks for very little money. Criminals will not feel compelled to help you recover your data, so they might just take your money. If you take the time to look into it, you’ll certainly find accounts of people not recovering data, even after paying. It would be a better idea to buy backup instead of giving into the demands. You will find different backup options but we are sure you will be able to find one that’s right for you. And if by accident you do have backup, simply eliminate Everbe ransomware before you recover files. Malware like this is lurking all over the place, and contamination is likely to occur again, so the least you could do is be prepared for it. In order to guard a computer, one must always be ready to come across potential threats, becoming familiar with how to avoid them.

How does ransomware spread

Normally, a lot of ransomware prefer to use infected email attachments and adverts, and false downloads to corrupt systems, although you can certainly find exceptions. However, you might run into more elaborate methods too.

It is possible you opened an infected email attachment, which would trigger the data encrypting malware to start. Once the corrupted attachment is opened, the ransomware will be able to start the encoding process. It’s not uncommon for those emails to contain money-related info, which is the topic users are likely to think is important, therefore wouldn’t hesitate to open such an email. In addition to mistakes in grammar, if the sender, who certainly knows your name, uses Dear User/Customer/Member and puts strong pressure on you to open the attachment, you have to be vary. If the sender was a company whose services you use, they would have automatically put in your name into the email, instead of a common greeting. Don’t be surprised if you see big company names (Amazon, eBay, PayPal) be used, because when people notice a familiar name, they are more likely to let down their guard. If that isn’t the case, you could have picked up the infection via some other ways, like malicious adverts or bogus downloads. Be very careful about what advertisements you press on, particularly when on suspicious web pages. And stick to legitimate download sources as frequently as possible, because otherwise you’re putting your computer in jeopardy. Sources like advertisements and pop-ups are infamous for being dangerous sources, so never download anything from them. If a program had to update itself, it wouldn’t notify you through browser, it would either update automatically, or send you an alert via the program itself.

What happened to your files?

If you contaminate your system, you may permanently lose access to your files, and that is what makes ransomware so dangerous. The ransomware has a list of target files, and their encryption will take a very short time. Weird file extensions will appear added to all affected files, from which you may judge which ransomware you are dealing with. While not necessarily in every case, some data encoding malware do use strong encoding algorithms on your files, which makes it difficult to recover files for free. When all target files have been encrypted, a ransom note should appear, and it ought to explain how you should proceed. The ransom note will demand that you pay for a decryption tool but our suggestion would be to ignore the demands. If you’re expecting the hackers to blame for encrypting your files to keep their word, you might be disappointed, since they could simply take your money. Furthermore, your money would support their future projects. And, more and more people will become attracted to the already highly successful business, which reportedly made $1 billion in 2016 alone. A wiser investment would be a backup option, which would always be there if something happened to your files. And if this kind of infection hijack your device, your files would not be endangered as copies would be stored in backup. Our advice would be to ignore the demands, and if the threat is still inside on your device, terminate Everbe ransomware, in case you need help, you may use the instructions we provide below this report.
