Roga Ransomware

Ransomware programs are growing in popularity each day. Our research team has noticed a newly developed program of this category entitled Roga Ransomware. It goes without saying that every single Internet user must avoid this application at all times as having it active on your PC even for a short period, might have devastating outcomes.

In addition to that, we provide a detailed removal guide that you should use to delete Roga Ransomware once and for all.

It has been discovered that Roga Ransomware is an updated version of a previously unsuccessful ransomware program that goes by the name of Free-freedom Ransomware; thus, it is quite natural that the two work in a virtually the same manner. As soon as this malicious program gains full access to your operating system, it will start doing its dirty work immediately. One of the most devious things about this malicious application's functionality is the fact that the encryption process is completely silent. Therefore, users without advanced computer knowledge will likely not notice what is going on. Each file encrypted by this malicious program will have a .madebyadam extension instead of its usual one. Our research team found out that the malware in question mainly targets text and image files. While it bypasses .exe files and system drives the data loss imposed by it could prove to be devastating, to say the least. Once your files are locked, you will be presented with a warning message that will inform you about what has happened and then will ask you for ransom. You are basically asked to by a gift card from stores such as Tesco, Asda, or Walmart and then provide cyber crooks with the card's redeem code. Our research team highly advises you not to do so as there is no guarantee that your data would actually be decrypted even if you happen to make such a payment. Thus, you might simply waste money by satisfying the request of the scammers. It should be more than obvious that you need to remove Roga Ransomware at the very same time that it is found up and running on your personal computer.
