Eternity Ransomware

Security professionals are warning web users about a recently detected threat called Eternity Ransomware. Eternity Ransomware operates as a ransomware cryptovirus and has the ability to encrypt the files that you store on your computer without your knowledge.

Eternity Ransomware uses an advanced algorithm and then place a ransom note on your screen which is asks you to pay a ransom for the decryption of the locked data. Like most ransomware representatives, Eternity Ransomware can do that without any symptoms. Therefore the number of victims who are suddenly greeted by a scary ransom notification on their screens, generated by this malware, is rapidly growing. What’s more, the people behind the infection use a whole arsenal of sneaky methods and different transmitters that oftentimes look harmless and legitimate and can easily mislead anyone about their true nature and purpose.

The Eternity Ransomware virus

It is really important that you detect and safely remove the Eternity Ransomware virus from your computer before you do anything else. This is because, if the Eternity Ransomware virus is active on your PC, you may not be able to use your computer normally and create new files on it.

Furthermore, you may also not be able to safely connect your backup sources or other devices in order to use them for the recovery of your data. And it goes without saying that it can be a dreadful feeling to lose access to your personal images, videos, audio collections, documents, archives and other important file. 

If you are reading this because your system has been secretly compromised by this cryptovirus, then you most probably need some help in order to handle the attack and the nasty consequences that may follow. That’s why, on this page, we have prepared some useful information about the alternatives you can choose from in case that Eternity Ransomware has taken your valuable data hostage, as well as a detailed guide that can help you remove the harmful code from your system.

The Eternity Ransomware file encryption

Once a threat like the Eternity Ransomware file attacks your computer, you basically have to be prepared to deal with the unscrupulous hackers behind the infection. The hackers behind the Eternity Ransomware file encryption typically won’t hesitate to extort money from you in every possible way.

And this means that they aren’t above using threatening messages, false promises, fake data-recovery tools and more. They may display a scary ransom message on your screen, threaten you with tight deadlines, ask a ridiculous amount of money or Bitcoin and promise to send you a special decryption key which is stored on their servers – as long as you do what they demand of you.

Some hackers may even offer you to test-decrypt a couple of files in order to convince you that they have a working decryption solution in their hands, again, with the intention of making you send them the required amount of ransom money. Letting your panic take over your rational decisions, however, won’t do you any good. Moreover, there is absolutely no guarantee about the successful recovery of your files because even if you fulfill all of the ransom demands, the hackers can always disappear without sending you anything in return. That’s why trying to ignore their blackmailing tactics and opting for potential alternatives, such as the ones in the removal guide below, is a much more logical decision.
