How to Eliminate Radiation Ransomware

What is Radiation Ransomware? And how does it work?
Radiation ransomware is another file-encrypting virus that makes your files inaccessible. This ransomware is still unfinished and is still on its development phase. Once it intrudes your computer system, it starts to identify data stored in your computer. After that, it begins the encryption process which may take a couple of time since this ransomware uses a complex cipher which is a combination of AES and RSA algorithm. According to our researchers, this ransomware mostly targets Microsoft document files and other file types such as .jpg, .mp4, .rar, and a whole lot more.
Radiation ransomware is also known as Hell ransomware, hence the flaming background of the ransom note that also contains the following message:
“Ugh.. oh!
Your Files Are Encrypted!
To retrieve your files
Please Refer to decrypt.exe and decrypt.txt
These files can be found on your desktop
#Hell Ransomware Made by KingCobra”
Moreover, the Radiation ransomware did quite a good job in developing the ransomware’s interface since it clearly states three options that contains further details about the ransomware as well as the payment and the decryption details. It demands you to pay $310 in Bitcoin in exchange for the decryptor. You should not, in any way, pay these crooks for paying them won’t guarantee you anything at all. You can just try out our removal instructions which will be discussed later on.
How is Radiation Ransomware distributed?
You can run into this ransomware when you carelessly click any suspicious links which are often rampant in fraudulent sites. Keep in mind that phishing and hacking techniques are also used that it only takes for you to hover over it to be infected. Furthermore, you can be infiltrated by the Radiation ransomware when you download infected attachments from spam emails or when you download a fake Adobe Flash Player executable file. You also have to be aware of browser hijackers since these browser hijackers can serve as a gateway for severe threats like Radiation ransomware.
