Petya Ransomware- 2017 Safety Guide
The recent string of cyber-attacks caused by Ransomware was slowed down
after finding a loophole to stop it in its tracks. However, that was only a
glimpse of things to come. With the Petya Ransomware coming back stronger than
ever, it became increasingly important to keep smart devices safe and secure
round-the-clock. Various brands have come up with upgraded system and online
security products offering the best protection against this menace.
However, the company that decided to take the first stand was AVG. With
its ever increasing range of anti-virus and online security products AVG has
put up a tough fight against Petya Ransomware. But, there are less tech-savvy
users who don’t have any idea about what Petya Ransomware is capable of doing
to their smartphones as well as computer systems.
There is no need to worry as the AVG
Support is here to provide
you the complete knowledge of how Petya Ransomware operates. Our team of
professionals is ready to provide support to any customer affected by this
online menace. However, first let us understand of what Petya Ransomware is and
how it operates.
What Is Petya
Ransomware?
Petya Ransomware became active on March 2016 and it follows the same
principle as that followed by its predecessor, Ransomware. It comes with
“hijack for money” money malware strands to pay up ransom for releasing
important user files. However, rather than encrypting the files it stops users
from accessing their hard drive by encrypting the master file table.
This makes the file system unreadable and Windows won’t be able to boot
at all, some versions of Petya Ransomware encrypt both files and MFT. Recently,
another strain of Petya emerged in March 2017, this is called PetrWarp and
comes with a patched version of the original Petya Ransomware. You can contact
the AVG
AntiVirus Tech Support to know more on how
this operates.
Who Does Petya
Ransomware Attack?
Petya Ransomware is said to be responsible behind the massive Ransomware
attacks that previously affected computer systems worldwide. The scale of
attacks is global and a number of multinational companies have also reported
being affected by this attack. You can contact the highly efficient AVG

How Will I Know If My
System Is Infected With Petya Ransomware?
In case you have opened a malicious .exe file, the first hint at
something not being right will come as a Windows “blue screen of death”. This
points out to the fact that the Petya Ransomware has started the process of
encrypting the master table file and is showing a warning with a skull on a
colored background. In order to get rid of this issue, contact the AVG
Customer Support as soon as possible.
How Can I Get Rid Of Petya
Ransomware?
At present, there is no effective decryptor that will help you to
recover your files once they have been encrypted. In order to get rid of Petya
Ransomware make sure that you have taken the following steps:
- Total data backup on an external hard drive or online cloud storage
- Continuous updation of system software
- Installing a reliable antivirus and online security software
