Shade Ransomware

Shade Ransomware is a serious computer infection which you would not want to encounter. It enters systems without permission for one main reason – to extort money from users. Yes, Shade Ransomware is a product of cyber criminals and it is primarily targeted at those systems that are unprotected, i.e. do not contain security tools. If this infection ever touches your PC, you will notice that in a short while because your background will be changed and you will see a message from cyber criminals. In case this has already happened, hurry to get rid of Shade Ransomware no matter what the message says. It is very important to do that as soon as possible because this ransomware infection will start the moment your Windows loads up, which means that it will perform various activities behind your back day after day. It might also lock your new files too. Unfortunately, we have to inform you that it is not so easy to erase Shade Ransomware because this threat cannot be deleted via Control Panel. Do not worry; there are other ways to delete this infection.

If your system is infected with this ransomware infection, there is no doubt that you will notice a message claiming that “All the important files on your disks were encrypted.” You will also be instructed to check the README.txt file which you will find on any of your disks. Instructions provided there will inform you that you have to send a given code to decode010@gmail.com or decode 1110@gmail.com. It is very likely that you will be asked to pay a particular amount of money in order to decrypt your files with the following extensions: .txt, .bin, .xml, .mp3, .jpg, .bmp, .wmw, and others. It is, of course, up to you what to do, but you should know that nobody can guarantee that you will regain access to your files after you pay money. Therefore, we suggest recovering your files from a backup even if the message states that “All the attempts of decryption by yourself will result only in irrevocable loss of your data.” You should remove Shade Ransomware before recovering your files because this ransomware might infect them once again.

Unfortunately, Shade Ransomware is not the only ransomware infection that exists. Specialists working at pcthreat.com have found that such ransomware infections as Chimera Ransomware, Ninja ransomware, and ScreenLocker ransomware also exist and might enter your system any time. If you do not want to encounter such serious threats in the future, you should never open spam email attachments again. It is also advisable not to download files and programs from third-party web pages. Finally, you should make sure that you have a reliable security application installed on the system. Not all the tools can help you to protect your PC, so it is a must to acquire a really trustworthy application. Keep in mind that the majority of free tools you can find on the web are untrustworthy, so you should decide very carefully what to install on your PC.

Shade Ransomware is not the infection that can be removed easily. In fact, we do not recommend doing that manually because it is really difficult to do that. The quickest and easiest way to erase Shade Ransomware is to scan the system with SpyHunter or another trustworthy tool. It is worth investing in such an application because it will not only remove this ransomware, but will also protect you from future threats. Unfortunately, a reliable security application will not help you to unlock your files, but, as we have already mentioned, it is not a problem if you have a backup.
