The main purpose of the 'avastvirusinfo@yandex.com' Ransomware attack is to make the victim pay a ransom to recover the affected files. The point of targeting these many file types is to guarantee that the 'avastvirusinfo@yandex.com' Ransomware will manage to encrypt something of value during the attack.

Dealing with the 'avastvirusinfo@yandex.com' Ransomware

PC security researchers strongly advise computer users to refrain from paying the 'avastvirusinfo@yandex.com' Ransomware ransom. Computer users are advised to use a reliable security program that is fully up-to-date to prevent the 'avastvirusinfo@yandex.com' Ransomware from reaching their computers. However, once the 'avastvirusinfo@yandex.com' Ransomware has encrypted the victim's files, the only way to recover without the decryption key is to restore the affected files form a backup copy after removing the 'avastvirusinfo@yandex.com' Ransomware infection itself. Because of this, PC security researchers strongly advise computer users to have file backups on an external memory device or the cloud.
