Default New Tool for File Encrypting Trojan

New Tool for File Encrypting Trojan

Today’s malware public service message is brought to you by the folks at Symantec. The company is also offering a free tool for anyone that has been hit by this new Trojan.

Trojan.Ramvicrype is a little different from most other Ransomware programs we’ve seen in the past. Typically these kinds of threats display a message prompting users to visit a certain Web page or email a specific address. Users will end up paying the online criminals in exchange for keys that can be used to unlock the computer or decrypt the encrypted files.
