The JS.Crypto Ransomware is a cyber threat that may prevent users from accessing some of their most important files. The JS.Crypto Ransomware can do this thanks to its ability to encrypt the contents of files, therefore making them inaccessible unless they are decrypted successfully. The encryption technique that the JS.Crypto Ransomware uses is difficult to break, and that's why users who are affected by this threat may have a difficult time restoring their data. Apart from encrypting selected files on the user's computer, the JS.Crypto Ransomware also may prevent the victim from accessing vital Windows features like the Command Prompt, Task Manager and Registry Editor. These features may come in handy if you want to remove threats from your computer manually; by disabling them, the JS.Crypto Ransomware reduces your chances of removing its components significantly.

The JS.Crypto Ransomware targets a long list of file types, but its most valuable targets seem to be documents, photos, spreadsheets and database files. Files of these types may turn out to be related to work projects or important family memories that the victims may not want to lose. When the JS.Crypto Ransomware finishes its encryption operations, it may display a ransom note whose purpose is to help the users decrypt their data. However, the called help is only available to those users who opt to pay the ransom fee requested by the JS.Crypto Ransomware. The ransom fee may be different for some victims, but you can rest assured that its amount will easily exceed $100. We advise users not to pay the ransom fee because there's no way they can be sure that they will get their files back, and may end up losing both their money and data. Instead, users should look for an alternative solution to the problem, but their first step must always be the complete removal of the JS.Crypto Ransomware. This ransomware should be removed with the help of a reliable and up-to-date anti-malware scanner to ensure that all of its components are erased from the computer.
