FlyBox Ransomware

FlyBox Ransomware is a malicious computer infection that can give you a decent fright. This program is there to bully you into paying a whole lot of money for your files, but you are a savvy computer user, you will know better than to do just that. It might be challenging to restore your files, but your main priority should be removing FlyBox Ransomware from your system, and then making sure that you don’t get infected with similar nasty stuff again. For the manual removal instructions, scroll down to the bottom of this report.

Now, what about your files? It might not be possible to restore every single thing, especially if you don’t have a file backup. Ransomware programs are probably the main reason nowadays that everyone urges users to create file backups. Even if your files get destroyed or locked up on your computer, you could still access them on a cloud or on an external hard drive, if you make copies and regularly back them up. Not to mention that FlyBox Ransomware is not a prominent ransomware infection, so there’s very little chance that research would create a public decryption tool for it. Hence, if you’ve been prepared in advance, then it’s all good. If not, you might have to sweat a little bit more.

Now, aside from creating file backups, it’s also necessary to understand how ransomware spreads around so that FlyBox Ransomware is the last infection of this kind to reach you. If you haven’t noticed how this app entered your system, you probably weren’t paying attention to the files you were opening. For the most part, ransomware spreads through spam emails, and the extensions that come with spam emails can often be used to distribute ransomware. The problem is that users who often open email attachments might not think twice before opening an attached file from spam because it often looks like the real deal.

However, the best way to make sure that FlyBox Ransomware doesn’t reach you is to scan the files you received from unfamiliar parties with a security tool of your choice. You could say that employing a scanner to scan every single received file is a hassle, which slows down your everyday work process, but isn’t your security and your files worth that? If you have additional seconds to spare for a file scan, you should do that because, with FlyBox Ransomware on-board, you might lose your files completely.

Now, if you are unlucky enough to have FlyBox Ransomware running, you must have noticed already that all the affected files have a new extension, and the filenames are now longer (for instance, file.jpg would change to file.jpg.FlyBox). Substantially, the extension doesn’t give you much information, it’s more like a stamp that says the FlyBox Ransomware infection has tampered with your files, and now you have to pay. The infection tells more about the ransom in the ransom note that it displays in a separate window once the encryption is complete:

ATTENTION!!!

All Your Files Have Been Encrypted!

Your important files encrypted using strong military encryption grade algorithms AES-256 and RSA-2048.

Can I Recovery My Files?

Sure. We guarantee that you can recover all your files safety and easily, But you have to pay for decryption Bitcoin.

The information next to the payment button says that you have to pay 0.009 BTC (around 100 USD) within 72 hours if you want to get your files back. If you fail to transfer the payment, your files will remain locked.

Some more desperate users might feel inclined to do as told, but please take note that sometimes even paying the ransom doesn’t guarantee that you will get your files back. The criminals could just collect the payment and make a run for it. Hence, it’s best to ignore these demands and focus on removing FlyBox Ransomware from your system.

Luckily, ransomware removal is usually a simple process as you need to simply remove the file that launched the infection. For an optimal effect, consider employing a legitimate antispyware tool that can run a full system scan and locate all the malicious files that could have been dropped on your PC. When you remove the infection, go through possible file recovery options.
