There are many varieties of ransomware, but they have the same purpose, that is to prevent you from accessing your files, folders and other important data. The scary part about ransomware is that can affect everyone: individuals, businesses, charities and government departments have all been affected with ransomware. The purpose of ransomware is to force you to pay a ransom amount in order regain access to your important data. However, there’s no guarantee that you will be able to regain access to your data after paying the specified ransom.
