What Can Ransomware Do To Your Computer?

Some business owners fail to realize how important it is to have their network system protected from computer threats such as ransomware. To give you a picture of what a ransomware can do to your system, here are its effects:

• It infects your computer - A ransomware may not be detected by the naked eye. A cunning deception is used by this type of threat. It takes in information such as your research history and uses email containing information that looks credible enough to make it believable.
• It causes damage - Once your computer is infected, it scans all the files including external storage that are crucial to you. Once scanning is complete, it encrypts itself that makes your files useless.
• It demands ransom as payment - Once your files seem useless, they demand payment from you to put things back to where they were through a ransom letter.
