[Speaking] Talk about Ransomware

Ransomware is a compound word, combining ransom and software. It causes computer systems to be infected with malicious code. Then it blocks off access and demands a ransom. An infected affected computer is bricked so the user could really shoulder a loss. Some ransomwares use data encryption and prevent access to stored data.

Other types simply lock up the computer and show instructions how to pay up. Ransomware is among the most dangerous types of computer viruses. Often they are immune to vaccines. This means users must be extra-careful. You should never, under any circumstances, download an app or a program you can't trust. It's also important to regularly update vaccine programs.
