How to Remove CryptoDefense Ransomware Virus Successfully

Introduction about CryptoDefense

CryptoDefense is classified as a detrimental ransomware which is capable of encrypting users’ folders and victims can’t restore them until they pay the fine as the creators of this virus asks. This virus will cause severe damage to the target machines. Generally speaking, CryptoDefense disables victims’ folders containing video, photos, or documents, etc. Then it states that victims have to buy a private key to reuse their folders. Most of the time users have to pay 500 dollars USD in Bitcoins within 96 hours, or they are required to pay about 1000 dollars USD. What’s worse, this virus declares that if users do not buy the key for decrypting their folders in one month, they will never get the key to reuse their folders. Usually, users are required to get the key from a harmful website: rj2bocejarqnpuhm,onion.to/. The worst thing is although victims have paid the fine as required, they can only use their folders for a short time. Because this virus is still in their systems and it may encrypt their folders one more time. Hence, users have to think twice before pay the money and try to eradicate this parasite as soon as possible so as to safeguard their money and privacy.
