How to Wipe Out Jewsomware Ransomware (Crypto-Malware/Ransomware)

What is Jewsomware ransomware? And how does it implement its attack?

Jewsomware ransomware is another crypto-virus discovered in July 2018. It is designed to lock data in an infected computer. Based on the analysis done by security experts, this crypto-malware is either a joke or a test sample. Meaning to say this threat is not as dangerous as it seems and the files it encrypts are decryptable, at least for now. Even so, its developers might decide to update this threat so it must not be taken lightly.
The instant it is able to infiltrate a targeted computer, it implements a series of changes in the system which allows it to execute its attack without any interference from any programs installed in the computer. It also makes changes in the Windows Registry by modifying some registry entries and sub-keys allowing the crypto-malware to run automatically on every system boot. After that, it starts the encryption process and while doing so, it fills your computer screen with a fake Windows Update screen which cleverly hides the malicious activity in the system. The fake Windows Update screen contains a message saying, “Windows is working on updates”. Once it finishes the encryption, the fake Windows Update screen disappears and is replaced with a red screen containing the following message:
“Your Files Have Been Encrypted by the Sneaky Jew!
To Decrypt them just follow these steps:
