The recent string of cyber-attacks caused by Ransomware was slowed down after finding a loophole to stop it in its tracks. However, that was only a glimpse of things to come. With the Petya Ransomware coming back stronger than ever, it became increasingly important to keep smart devices safe and secure round-the-clock. Various brands have come up with upgraded system and online security products offering the best protection against this menace.
However, the company that decided to take the first stand was AVG. With its ever increasing range of anti-virus and online security products AVG has put up a tough fight against Petya Ransomware. But, there are less tech-savvy users who don’t have any idea about what Petya Ransomware is capable of doing to their smartphones as well as computer systems.
There is no need to worry as the AVG Support is here to provide you the complete knowledge of how Petya Ransomware operates. Our team of professionals is ready to provide support to any customer affected by this online menace. However, first let us understand of what Petya Ransomware is and how it operates.
What Is Petya Ransomware?
Petya Ransomware became active on March 2016 and it follows the same principle as that followed by its predecessor, Ransomware. It comes with “hijack for money” money malware strands to pay up ransom for releasing important user files. However, rather than encrypting the files it stops users from accessing their hard drive by encrypting the master file table.
This makes the file system unreadable and Windows won’t be able to boot at all, some versions of Petya Ransomware encrypt both files and MFT. Recently, another strain of Petya emerged in March 2017, this is called PetrWarp and comes with a patched version of the original Petya Ransomware. You can contact the AVG AntiVirus Tech Support to know more on how this operates.
Who Does Petya Ransomware Attack?
Petya Ransomware is said to be responsible behind the massive Ransomware attacks that previously affected computer systems worldwide. The scale of attacks is global and a number of multinational companies have also reported being affected by this attack. You can contact the highly efficient AVG AntiVirus Support to know more on Petya Ransomware.
How Will I Know If My System Is Infected With Petya Ransomware?
In case you have opened a malicious .exe file, the first hint at something not being right will come as a Windows “blue screen of death”. This points out to the fact that the Petya Ransomware has started the process of encrypting the master table file and is showing a warning with a skull on a colored background. In order to get rid of this issue, contact the AVG Customer Support as soon as possible.
How Can I Get Rid Of Petya Ransomware?
At present, there is no effective decryptor that will help you to recover your files once they have been encrypted. In order to get rid of Petya Ransomware make sure that you have taken the following steps:
- Total data backup on an external hard drive or online cloud storage
- Continuous updation of system software
- Installing a reliable antivirus and online security software
