2017 - The Fight Against Ransomware

After the late Ransomware attacks, it's never late to talk about the internet and personal computer security.

Ransomware is wicked, since it targets not only the home user but also Hospitals, Foundations, Museums and other public companies that rely on their I.T. systems to keep running smoothly. It puts people´s lives at risk and years of work wasted, so someone gets some money out of their frustrations but good programming skills.

The perpetrators usually invade the system and render it useless by encrypting the files on it, then asking for money to deliver the unlock key for those files.

Some empower sponsors to target particular groups of onlookers for their personal data. You are constantly open to the likelihood of being tainted with such programming instructions that can turn into an inconvenience and an issue in your future computer usage.

Smart programmers (read hackers) have done intelligent virus and trojans. part of them includes a database of known protection software enabling them the ability to recognize anti-spyware or anti-adware and shut them out from your PC before they do their own thing.

The Internet brings us closer, but also has brought the expansion of malevolent projects and applications that work their way into individual PCs and do their damage in an awful diversity of ways.

When a specific offensive program tries to get its way into your PC, the counter spyware program turns into your essential weapon against such undesirable applications. Other spyware projects can examine documents on your hard drive furtively, and even download other spyware programs into your PC.
