RANSOMWARE DATA RECOVERY

There are many different types of ransomware, and more being developed everyday. One thing they all have in common is that, all of them will prevent you from using your files and/or computer normally, and they will all ask for something before you can use your them again, usually a Ransom, hence the name Ransomware. There are only a few types of data recovery available, backup restoration, professional recovery services, or paying the criminals.

They can target any computer users, whether it’s a home computer, small to medium sized businesses, large enterprise networks, or servers used by a government agency.

So what can Ransomware do?

  • It can Prevent you from accessing your Windows operating system.
  • It can and often does Encrypt files so you can’t use them.
  • Or even Stop certain apps from running, like your web browser or office applications.

Ransomware will demand that you pay money (a “ransom”) to get access to your computer or files.

There is also no guarantee that paying the fine or doing what the ransomware tells you will give access to your data or files again. We have even heard people saying that you should pay the cyber criminals, “Because they have their reputation to consider!”  Please do not listen to these so called “IT professionals” who tell you this. They do not know what they are talking about. Paying the criminal is a very last resort!

Praetorian IT Services have access to a huge range of resources, and have had a great deal of success at decrypting ransomwared files.

Deleted Data Recovery

When someone deletes a file on a Microsoft Windows or Linux file system, its content is not erased from disk but only reference to file data in File Allocation Table or Master File Table is marked as deleted. It means that you may be able to recover deleted files, or make it visible again.

Praetorian IT Services can help you to find and recover recoverable deleted files from Windows or Linux based operating systems, regardless of their type – you can recover pictures, songs, movies or documents. Praetorian IT Services can scan your hard drive and build an list of existing and deleted files and directories (folders) on any drive of your computer. Once the scanning is complete we can try to recover all the files you require.

The most important thing to remember about data recovery is that the longer you leave it, the more likely it is that the deleted files will be permanently over written and harder to recover. Many people try to recover things themselves or pass it to the dreaded “Someone who’s good with computers!” This just makes matters worse, if the data is important, call the professionals! Call Praetorian IT Services.
