One important thing that you ought to be really careful with are the various spam texts and emails that you may be sent because those might sometimes carry hazardous malware infections with them. Whatever appears shady and obscure will need to be avoided even if it seems you have received it from a person that you know given that there is the possibility that their PC may have been compromised.

One other probable source of Ransomware are the many forms of malicious online adverts. Because it is sometimes hard to tell apart regular ads from harmful ones, you should always be careful. Sad to say, a number of those online ads could include malware code. Usually, going to questionable websites that may be illegitimate and coming into contact with their ads drastically increases the chances of landing upon some misleading advertisement that may compromise the security of your machine.
