Lately, netizens have been harassed by numerous ransomware viruses. Usually such viruses ask to send paid SMS to unlock the system.

If the ransomware virus does get on your computer, you need to remove it. This is done very simply: open the system drive C, find the Windows folder there. Here find a folder called system32 and go there. You may need to go to the folder properties and enable the "Show hidden files and folders" option for this, since system files are usually hidden.
Step 2
Then look for the drivers folder. The ransomware virus infects hosts. It should only say this: 127.0.0.1 localhost. If you see other numbers or words in the hosts file, they must be removed. Save all changes and the virus must be destroyed.
Step 3
You can also use antivirus software, of which there are many. Especially popular ones are Doctor Web, Kaspersky, Panda, NOD 32 and others.
Step 4
After the computer restarts at your request, press F8 and select "Safe Mode". The computer will turn on, and you can install and run the selected antivirus, and then neutralize all found threats.
Step 5
