The Ransomware threats like .Litar, .Nusar and .Lotep are still some of the most widespread forms of computer malware and the hackers that use them always seem to find ways to trick their victims into getting their computers infected with this malware. Most of you are probably well aware of the properties of a Ransomware cryptovirus, but to make sure that we are all on the same page, let’s quickly go over the main qualities and abilities of those nasty infections. A Ransomware cryptovirus (such as the new .Litar threat) is a dangerous computer program that uses data encryption on the user’s files. This encryption doesn’t harm the files, but it makes them inaccessible. Usually, without the corresponding key to a given encryption algorithm, any file locked by this encryption cannot be opened or used. The goal of the hackers behind threats like .Litar is to extort money from the people whose computers they have infected. As soon as the virus has managed to locked the personal files of the user whose machine it has invaded, it makes its presence known through a note that gets displayed on the Desktop. The contents of the note could vary from one version of a cryptovirus to the other but they almost always contain some form of a ransom demand combined with specific instructions on how exactly the user is supposed to carry out the payment.
What’s the best action to take against a threat like .Litar Virus File?
Many people, when faced with the choice of whether to pay the ransom and hopefully get their data restored or face the uncertainty of seeking alternative ways of recovering their files, go for the former option, hoping that if they pay, their encryption-related problem would go away and they wouldn’t have to deal with this issue any more. However, the problem here is that there is a lot of uncertainty about paying the ransom as well. After all, is there really a way to trust the hackers and their promises to give you a decryption key? Or what if the key sent to you doesn’t really work? And, needless to say, no matter what happens to your files after you pay and no matter whether you get the back or not, the money sent to the criminals is gone for good and you cannot do anything to change that. On top of it all, you will still be left to remove .Litar from your computer anyway. Considering all this, we suggest that you, instead of paying the money and trusting the promises of anonymous online criminals, have a look at our guide and use the instructions offered in it – they will help you remove .Litar, after which you can focus on data recovery. We have several suggested methods on our site that you can use as a means of restoring your files and while we cannot promise miracles, it’s still better than nothing and will not cost you money to try out the suggested alternatives.
