HOW DID I GET INFECTED WITH No_More_Ransom RANSOMWARE!
One of the most popular distribution methods is the coordination of SPAM messages. They are designed to appear as legitimate notifications that are regularly received by computer users. The virus files can be either attached directly or linked in the body contents.
A similar strategy is to create fake web pages that can coerce the users into thinking that they have accessed a legitimate vendor site or download portal. These two methods are commonly used to spread malicious payloads. A common form is inclusion of malicious macros in documents of various types: rich text documents, presentations, spreadsheets and databases. Once they are opened by the users a notification prompt will pop-up asking them to enable the built-in content. If this is done the virus infection will begin.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY SYSTEM IS INFECTED WITH No_More_Ransom RANSOMWARE?
If you are infected with the No_More_Ransom ransomware, you most likely will experience some (or all of) the following:
- Pop-up message advising you that your data has been encrypted and demanding that you pay a ransom.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM No_More_Ransom RANSOMWARE?
In order to protect yourself from the No_More_Ransom variant of Dharma, or from any other ransomware, it is important that you use good computing habits and security software. First and foremost, you should always have a reliable and tested backup of your data that can be restored in the case of an emergency, such as a ransomware attack.
You should also have security software (please talk to us about our recommendations) as most antivirus does not give you complete protection
Last, but not least, make sure you practice the following good online security habits, which in many cases are the most important steps of all:
- Backup, Backup, Backup!
- Do not open attachments if you do not know who sent them.
- Restrict RDP access
- Make sure all Windows updates are installed as soon as they come out! Also make sure you update all programs, especially No_More_Ransom, Flash, and No_More_Ransom Reader. Older programs contain security vulnerabilities that are commonly exploited by malware distributors. Therefore it is important to keep them updated.
- Make sure you have a recommended security software installed.
- Use complex passwords and never reuse the same password at multiple sites.
