Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware

The Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware is an encryption ransomware Trojan that carries out a typical encryption ransomware attack, identical to the countless other ransomware Trojans active currently that use this tactic to threaten computer users. Trojans like the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware are designed to take the victims' files hostage and then demand a ransom payment to return the files to the victim. To take the victim's files hostage, the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware will use a strong encryption algorithm to make the files inaccessible. Once the files have been encrypted, the victim cannot open them without the decryption key, which the con artists hold in their possession. The Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware will display a ransom note, threatening the victims with the complete loss of their files unless a ransom of $50 USD in BitCoin is paid. Malware experts strongly advise computer users to refrain from paying the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware ransom.

Uncovering the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware Infection

The Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware has been linked to sophisticated rootkit attacks that allow the con artists to execute a corrupted code on victims' files without it being detected. The Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware's name derives from a detection name that has been linked to this attack, which may appear in certain anti-malware applications. The Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware's attack is typical of these infections. There are several ways in which it can be delivered to the victim's computer, including hacking into the victim's computer directly, through the use of corrupted spam email attachments, or by using another threat (such as a rootkit attack that has been linked to the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware). Once inside the victim's computer, the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware will scan the affected computer in search for certain file types, encrypting them with a strong encryption algorithm. After the victim's files have been encrypted, the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware will display the following ransom note on the infected computer screen:

'All your files have been encrypted by the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware.
To get your files back you need to pay $50 worth bitcoin to our bitcoin account.
If you do not pay within 4 days your computer will be trashed.
Trying to stop, kill, remove or close the application will trash your computer instantly.
Bitcoin transaction code: 0121-7832-1231-8559-9443-7226.
Antivirus software such as: MalwareBytes, G-Data, AVG, Bullguard, e.t.c will be deleted.
If we sensor any decryption tool your computer will be trashed to.
-Devs'

The Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware ransom note makes several threats, including 'trashing' the victim's computer and deleting any installed anti-virus software. However, the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware cannot follow up on these threats, and once the files have been encrypted in the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware attack, they may not be recoverable. Because of this, preventive measures are especially necessary when dealing with threats like the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware.

Protecting Your Computer from Threats Like the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware

PC security researchers strongly advise computer users to avoid paying the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware ransom. Research has shown that the people responsible for these attacks will almost never keep their promise of restoring the victim's files and, even if they do, it is likely that the infected computer will be re-infected shortly after. Malware researchers, instead, advise computer users to take the following steps to ensure that their machines are fully protected against ransomware Trojans like the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware:

• The best protection against ransomware Trojans is to have backups of all files on an external memory device or the cloud. A disk image, a replica of the entire drive, is the best backup option. If computer users have the capacity to recover their files from a backup copy, then the people responsible for the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware attack lose any leverage over the victim that would allow them to demand a ransom paymen
• A reliable security program that is fully up-to-date can be used to intercept threats like the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware.
• It is crucial to learn how to handle online content that could be used to deliver threats like the Mancros+AI4939 Ransomware
