Remove Poison Ransomware

The Poison Ransomware is a file-locking malware that extorts victims for money. The creators of this threat have set the price to 0.01 Bitcoin, and they promise to provide all paying victims with a decryption tool. Unfortunately, there is no proof that the attackers are capable of decrypting files. In fact, because they use Bitcoin for payments, it would be very easy for them to scam you. It would be impossible to undo the transaction once it has been dispatched, and the crooks can take your money without helping you at all.

Staying safe from ransomware attacks is essential in this day and age, when this type of malware is so widely distributed. The two security measures that you can take in advance is to use an up-to-date antivirus tool, and to regularly backup your data to an offline or cloud storage. Another thing you could do is to be extra careful about the files and websites you interact with. Stay away from shady sources of downloads, and never meddle with pirated content.
