The main reason why TeslaCrypt Ransomware encrypts files is to extort money from computer users. Thus, it is not surprising that this infection will ask you to pay a particular amount of money in Bitcoins. In fact, a user will have to do that within the stated time if he/she does not want the private key, which can be used to decrypt files, to be destroyed. Even though it might seem that the easiest way is to make a payment, we definitely not recommend doing that because it is unknown whether you will receive the encryption key. Do not worry; you will be able to recover your files very easily if you have a backup. Of course, you should not forget to remove TeslaCrypt Ransomware first.
