The truth about such infections is that it is quite easy to avoid them, but users seldom employ safety measures that would help them do that.

So, what do you need to pay attention to if you want to avoid "Your Windows Has Been Banned" Ransomware? First, you should never download and open spam email attachments. Of course, all of us know that interacting with spam messages is no good, but we are pretty sure that people seldom think “it will happen to me.” The point is that it CAN happen to any of us, spam reaches all of us

For the most part, spam email messages get redirected to the Junk folder by your email provider’s algorithm. However, it is also possible for a spam campaign to be sophisticated enough to reach your main inbox, too. What’s more, if you are a target of a spear phishing campaign, it is very likely that the spam email with a dangerous file will jump right into your main inbox, looking like some important document.

And here we reach the question of important documents. Have you been waiting for that document? Do you know the sender? If the message seems absolutely random, and the tone is urgent, that is the dead giveaway that the message is fake. However, if you do not feel like deleting it without checking, you can always scan the received file with a security tool of your choice. If the scanner says that the file is dangerous, you can automatically just delete it and forget all about it.

However, if users avoid these precautions, the likes of "Your Windows Has Been Banned" Ransomware do enter their systems. We are very lucky that this program does not encrypt files or anything like that. It only stops you from accessing your desktop, and at first, it might look scary. However, you can easily close the program’s window using the Alt+F4 command, and then just delete this infection from your computer.
