If your files got encrypted, this article may to help you

Lately, a new type of virus has been developed and has been on the rise ever since it’s first version came out. We are talking about non other than the infamous Ransomware type. These viruses are getting more and more widely-spread on a daily basis. Hackers seem to make great use of them, since this particular kind of malicious software provides a perfect way to blackmail people and illegally gain revenue. Furthermore, it is almost impossible to bring the virtual criminal to justice, since it is extremely hard to trace the virus back to the hacker who’s using it. TeslaCrypt .mp3 is one of the latest ransomware viruses and as such it shares most of it’s characteristic with the rest of its kind.

But what does ransomware do?

You see, these malicious programs are quite different and unique, compared to your everyday virus. Most harmful software try to either steal from you without getting noticed or cripple your PC’s system for whatever reason. Ransomware (including TeslaCrypt .mp3) work differently. Once the virus gets into your system, it remains hidden for a certain period of time. Detecting it during that time is essential, however, quite difficult – we will get to that later. Throughout that period the ransomware copies all your files, deleting the originals afterwards. The only difference between the originals and the copies is that the copied files are all encrypted. What this means is that unless your PC has a specific code so as to be able to read the encryption and provide access to the files, you’ll not be able to open any of them. It should be noted that the copies themselves are perfectly intact – it’s only that you have no access to them. Once the encryption process is over, the virus actually reveals itself by displaying a message on your screen. The message usually tells you that your files have been encrypted and that if you want the encryption code, you’ll need to pay a certain amount of money to the hacker – a ransom (hence, ransomware). Now, you may be wondering whether or not you should pay the ransom. This is up for a debate, but specialists advise against doing so. It is easy to see why this may be a really bad idea. Firstly, you can never be sure if you’ll actually get the needed code – nothing obliges the hacker to send it to you even if you pay the ransom. Secondly, paying the money will effectively further encourage the criminal to keep blackmailing people. Furthermore, it is possible that even if you get the code back after paying the ransom, the virus may have left a backdoor into your system. That way you could end up getting your files encrypted all over again. Therefore, we suggest first trying our guide below this article on how to remove TeslaCrypt with Eset Master Key and restore your files. Just know that since ransomware viruses are advancing at a whopping pace, methods for dealing with them that have worked yesterday may not have the same effect today. Still, it is a much better and safer alternative compared to paying the ransom.

Keeping your PC safe

It should be obvious that the best way to deal with ransomware is – to never have to deal with it at all. Therefore, knowing how it can potentially get on your PC is mandatory. Unfortunately, there are so many ways for spreading a virus that you can never be 100% certain the page you’re about to open next is not going to infect your machine some kind of a malicious program. Still, we will give you a general idea on what to and what not to do so as to effectively protect your system from a potential ransomware infection.

• Firstly, avoid shady sites, especially if you think that they might be illegal. This is probably one of the most common ways via which viruses get distributed throughout the Internet. Also, be careful what you download and where you’re downloading it from.
• Secondly, double-check your e-mails before opening them. Even though in most cases potentially harmful letters go to the spam folder, it’s always possible that some of them might get into your regular inbox. Therefore, always look at the title of the letter and at the name of the sender before opening the actual message.
• Thirdly, have a reliable anti-virus. This is yet another very important precaution. Make sure that you’re using a high-quality software and that you’re always keeping it up-to-date.
• Lastly, remember what we said about detecting the virus during the encryption process? As we mentioned, this is quite difficult to do but may potentially save you both money and time should you intercept the ransomware before it is too late. Though hard to notice, there are several symptoms that you should be on the look out for. The most common ones are unusually high amounts of RAM and CPU usage, less free storage space on your hard-drive than you should otherwise have and generally weird behavior of your PC. If you suspect that TeslaCrypt .mp3 might be currently messing with your files, shut down your PC ASAP and bring it to an IT specialist.

These were some general rules that will help you prevent potential ransomware infections. If your files have already been encrypted and the dreaded ransom-demanding message has been displayed on your screen, you can try our guide that is just below the article.
