How does the "Hitler"


The virus consists of a set of files.  Main of them , Firefox32.exe masquerading popular browser and makes changes to the startup, causing the virus runs whenever the computer is turned on. In addition, he claims that all files are encrypted and locks the computer.

When the user clicks on the virus-infected file, it displays the error message "The file could not be found!" ("The file could not be found"), and then you receive a notice requiring redemption. To regain access to your computer, you need within the hour to buy the card operator Vodafone nominal value of 25 Euro and send the code to the ransomware.

Look how it work


 The good news


In fact "Hitler" does not encrypt files and written, according to experts, very bad. The virus erases file extensions in multiple directories, so I really can't access. When the time to buy cards for redemption expires, the virus triggers the "blue screen of death". After the computer restarts, the "Hitler" only deletes the files in the folder %UserProfile%. 


 Urgently warn your friends – virus can remove almost any antivirus! The main thing to have time to disarm it within the hour
