Remove Ninja Ransomware

How to Remove Ninja Ransomware?

Ninja is a hazardous ransomware. It attacks your computer, and all resistance is futile. Once the tool slithers into your system, the battle is lost, the whole war is lost. There’s nothing you can do except count your losses, accept them, and carry on. That’s why ransomware tools like Ninja are considered harmful and dangerous. They come into your system, mess it up, and back you into a corner. Ninja encrypts every file you keep on your PC and demands a ransom from you to decrypt them. As you might imagine, that’s the common strategy for all ransomware programs. But it gets worse. Apart from making it impossible to access your data, Ninja also leaves a backdoor to hackers, allowing them to wreak further havoc and cause even more damages. The ransomware can also steal information from you. Like, your personal and financial details, as well as the email addresses of your contacts and then send them corrupted emails in your name. The question is, are you going to let it do so? Are you going to let it follow through with its devious schemes? There’s no denying it, the tool bears an awesome name, but that’s pretty much everything good about it. It’s all downhill from there. Delete it the first chance you get, and make sure to create backups for all of your files. That way, you’ll avoid losing anything important to you should this scenario occurs once more. People, affected by the Ninja Ransomware are asked to send an encrypted file to the following email address (ninja.gaiver@aol.com).

How did I get infected with?

How on earth did you get stuck with the Ninja ransomware? How did it manage to slither into your system? Well, the answer may come as a shock but it was because of you. You’re the reason behind all the grief, headaches, and overall unpleasantness you’re currently experiencing. Infections such as this one require your official permission before they enter your PC, ergo, if you don’t give it they cannot get in. To keep them out, all you have to do is say ‘No’ when they ask if you wish to install them. Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? Well, tools like Ninja ransomware have come up with an entire array of methods with which to trick you into approving them in, and be utterly oblivious to it. They tend to turn to the old but gold means of infiltration and prey on your distraction and haste to dupe you into giving them the green light. The usual deceit includes hiding behind freeware, spam email attachments, corrupted links, or sites or pretending to be a fake system or program update. To avoid a similar predicament, try to be more patient when installing updates or tools. Just remember that a little extra time and energy you spent thoroughly examining what you have to agree to before you agree to it can save you an abundance of future issues. Never forget, a little extra caution goes a long way. If you turn your back on carelessness, gullibility, and haste today, your future self will thank you for it tomorrow.

Why is Ninja dangerous?

Something that sounds so cool cannot possibly be harmful, right? Wrong. Unfortunately, Ninja is an immensely deceptive tool, and its deception lies far beyond its name. Once the tool makes its way to your computer, it attacks your operating system and messes it up to such an extent that pretty soon you find yourself at an impasse. After Ninja infects your PC, it completely takes over. It encrypts every single file you have stored – your music, documents, pictures, videos, nothing is out of its reach. After the encryption process is complete, it leaves you a ‘present’ on your desktop explaining exactly why you cannot access any of your data. The text that greets you is usually written in Russian and, in a nutshell, states that your files have been encrypted, and if you wish to decrypt them you have a week to act. Otherwise, if the week passes, decryption becomes impossible. It may seem unbelievable, but experts advise towards doing nothing. Don’t contact the people that encrypted your files, don’t give them money, don’t do anything. They claim it’s better to accept everything you had on your PC is no longer within your reach and cut your losses. That may seem heartless, but it’s nonetheless true. If you contact these unknown third parties, your situation can only worsen. It CANNOT get better. The best thing you can do is take immediate action towards the deletion of the Ninja ransomware tool. Don’t wait for the given week to end, do it now! Yes, you’ll say goodbye to your encrypted data, but you’ll protect both yourself and your system from further harm.
