Hades Locker Virus comes from a family of file-encrypting ransomware. It offers to make a payment in Bit coins to get a key to decrypt files. Important to know, currently not possible to decrypt the .HL files encrypted by the ransomware without the private key and decrypt program. Hades Locker Virus places everything you keep on your PC under lock down. You cannot open it or access it in any way. Not unless you apply the right decryption key to free it. But that key costs you. This is where the ‘ransom’ part of the ransomware kicks in. After it encrypts your data, it demands you pay up for its release. Don’t pay the ransom! Don’t follow the requests of cyber extortionists! If you do, you only bury yourself in deeper troubles. Cut your losses. Say goodbye to your files to protect yourself from an even bigger mess.
