Snick Ransomware

Snick Ransomware is from the Makop family of malware threats, which are rather aggressive in seeking out files and encrypting them for the purposes of extorting money from victimized computer users. Snick Ransomware gets its name from the file extension that is appended to files that are encrypted upon infection by Snick Ransomware, “.snick.”

The spread of Snick Ransomware may primarily take place through spam email attachments. When loaded on a Windows PC, Snick Ransomware will display a threat message that explains what has happened to the computer as far as encrypting files and a method that may decrypt the files by first paying a substantial ransom fee.

Victims of Snick Ransomware will want to promptly remedy the issue and get their files back. Unfortunately, files that are encrypted may not be accessed but by first removing Snick Ransomware with an antimalware resource you will stop the encryption process from taking place further. Once Snick Ransomware is removed, you may then restore certain files that remain encrypted from a recent backup of the affected computer.
