Remove virus-encoder Completely - Ransomware Removal Guide

What is virus-encoder? 

I face a serious problem. I catch a virus which called “virus-encoder”, and the specific message starts with “Attention your computer has been attacked by a virus encoder…email us at help2015@scryptmail.com”. Moreover, every file was encrypted and renamed. 

virus-encoder is taken as a malicious ransomware. It gets into your computer without your notification. You are strongly recommended to remove it immediately for the following reasons:


Firstly, Once your computer was attacked by virus-encoder, it would encrypt and rename your files and data. You can no longer open your document. After that, the producer of virus-encoder will tell you to email at help2015@scryptmail.com. You are demanded to pay for the unlock code. Actually, there are many users whose computer was attacked by ransomware and they did pay for the unlock password but in vain. It’s of frequent occurrence that hackers didn’t do as what they said to decode your files and data. They just run off in secret with the paid money. You were faced with a financial loss with your files still locked.

In terms of this problem, I suggest you to back-up your important files and data in case of some serious computer issues occurred. If your computer had been attacked by ransomware like virus-encoder and your files were encrypted, don’t pay any money for the unlock code unless your files was of high value and very important. What hacker usually do is over-promise and then under-deliver. They won’t keep faith in their words to decode your files.

Secondly, virus-encoder may bring other harmful components to your computer. If your PC was compromised by virus-encoder, you can easily notice many other computer issues more than your locked files. Your computer becomes to run slower and slower. Your browsing activities are not fluent enough. More and more ads swarm into your computer when you are visiting webs.

Now take everything into consideration, you should not take risk to remain virus-encoder in your computer more than one minute. The quicker you remove virus-encoder, the less damage it causes. There are two effective methods for you to remove it manually and automatically.
