Where did I get the MSIL/Agent.XX?
General methods of MSIL/Agent.XX distribution are common for all other ransomware examples. Those are one-day landing sites where users are offered to download the free software, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait emails are a quite new strategy in malware distribution – you receive the email that simulates some normal notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions shifts. Inside of the e-mail, there is an infected MS Office file, or a web link which leads to the exploit landing page.

Malicious email message. This one tricks you to open the phishing website.
Avoiding it looks quite uncomplicated, but still demands a lot of attention. Malware can hide in different places, and it is better to prevent it even before it gets into your system than to trust in an anti-malware program. Simple cybersecurity awareness is just an important thing in the modern world, even if your relationship with a PC stays on YouTube videos. That may save you a lot of time and money which you would spend while trying to find a fix guide.
