The Ransomware infections are all over the place right now – pretty much every day a new virus that belongs to this malicious category of malware gets released and with each newer version, the effectiveness of the malware increases and dealing with its attack becomes more and more difficult. The latest Ransomware cryptovirus that we will currently be talking about is .Dalle Virus. This is a dangerous computer program that, similarly to the rest of its group, uses the file-encryption method to achieve its goals. Those goals are to extort money from you by making you unable to open any of the files located in your computer’s hard-drives regardless of what software you may try to use in order to open those files. The encryption placed on the files by infections like .Dalle Virus is highly advanced and the only way to access the locked data is through the use of the corresponding decryption access key. Of course, this is the whole idea behind a Ransomware attack – once the files get locked and there’s no way the user can open them, the cryptovirus notifies its victim that there’s key which can restore the access to the locked-up data. However, there is a price that must be paid – certain amount of money must be sent to the criminals operating the virus. If the user goes through with the demanded payment, they are promised to receive the access key they so desperately need. And, since most computer users keep some form of sensitive and important data on their computers, which data they haven’t backed up, many do indeed pay the requested ransom. However, there is a big problem with this course of action and that problem is the possibility that the key for the files may never be received. After all, what is there to stop the hackers from simply taking any money that you send to them and then disappearing with it without helping you restore your access to the locked-up files? The answer is, absolutely nothing. Exactly because of this, most cyber-security experts advise against paying the ransom – this option should really only be considered if there is absolutely no other possible way to recover the files and only if those files are especially important and the victim can’t afford to lose them. Such are the cases where a Ransomware cryptovirus like .Dalle, .Truke or .Gerosan infects the networks of schools, big businesses, hospitals and other big organizations. In those cases, the retrieval of the sealed files is of utmost importance and no time can be wasted in trying to release the files through alternative means.
