Ransomware is a type of malware that prevents or limits users from
accessing their system. To make the infected system usable again, the
victim is forced to pay (a ransom) to a remote threat actor thru certain
online payment methods. Users may encounter this threat through
different means. They can either download ransomware unwittingly by
visiting malicious or compromised websites. It can also arrive as a
payload, either dropped or downloaded by other malware. It is important
to note, however, that paying for the ransom does not guarantee that
users can eventually access the infected system.
Trend Micro has developed a special tool in order to address this
problem. Trend Micro AntiRansomware Tool is a free program designed to
perform a quick system scan in order to identify and remove ransomware
from an infected computer.
Below are indications that your computer is infected by a ransomware:
- Getting pop-up messages telling that your computer has been locked
- Getting pop-up messages demanding payment before you can access your files and programs
What's new in this version:
- Now supports the latest variant of ICE Ransomware
Note: This tool can be installed on Safe Mode with
Networking. Also through USB on Regular Safe Mode and Safe Mode with
Command Prompt.
