Kriptovor is malware that encrypts your files and demands a ransom to decrypt them.

How does Kriptovor Ransomware infect your computer?

Kriptovor uses strong encryption to encrypt your files. It usually arrives in an email attachment or is disguised as a legitimate file. Once it's on your computer, it will scan your hard drive for certain types of files and encrypt them.
