Cryptorbit Ransom Virus is a ransomware program that will encrypt files on the infected computer. This malware arrives on the computer through another infection. Once infected, the virus will inject code into the system folder as well as in the registry. This action allows Cryptorbit Ransom Virus to run on each Windows boot up. When running on the computer, Cryptorbit Ransom Virus always reminds computer user that files were locked. It demands payment for the encryption key costing 50$, depending on the location of the victim. In the message, CryptoLocker states the following:
“
Your personal files are encrypted!
All files including videos, photos and document, etc. on your computer are encrypted…
File decryption costs ~ $ 50.”
Paying for the ransomware is likely supporting the online fraud activity. We highly encourage computer users not to pay the private key. You are supposed to remove Cryptorbit Ransom Virus as soon as possible when you find it on your computer.
