PWS:Win32/Sekur detection is a malware detection you can spectate in your system. It frequently shows up after the provoking actions on your PC – opening the untrustworthy e-mail messages, clicking the banner in the Internet or installing the program from untrustworthy resources. From the second it shows up, you have a short time to take action before it begins its harmful activity. And be sure – it is better not to await these destructive actions.

What is PWS:Win32/Sekur virus?

PWS:Win32/Sekur is ransomware-type malware. It searches for the files on your disks, ciphers it, and then asks you to pay the ransom for receiving the decryption key. Besides making your files inaccessible, this malware also does a lot of harm to your system. It changes the networking settings in order to avoid you from reading the elimination manuals or downloading the antivirus. In rare cases, PWS:Win32/Sekur can also prevent the launching of anti-malware programs.

PWS:Win32/Sekur Summary

In summary, PWS:Win32/Sekur virus actions in the infected system are next:

• Behavioural detection: Executable code extraction – unpacking;
• Yara rule detections observed from a process memory dump/dropped files/CAPE;
• CAPE extracted potentially suspicious content;
• The binary contains an unknown PE section name indicative of packing;
• The binary likely contains encrypted or compressed data.;
• Authenticode signature is invalid;
• Behavioural detection: Injection (Process Hollowing);
• Behavioural detection: Injection (inter-process);
• Encrypting the files located on the victim’s disk — so the victim cannot use these files;
• Blocking the launching of .exe files of anti-malware programs
• Blocking the launching of installation files of security tools

Ransomware has actually been a nightmare for the last 4 years. It is difficult to picture a more dangerous virus for both individual users and corporations. The algorithms used in PWS:Win32/Sekur (usually, RHA-1028 or AES-256) are not hackable – with minor exclusions. To hack it with a brute force, you need more time than our galaxy already exists, and possibly will exist. But that malware does not do all these bad things instantly – it may take up to several hours to cipher all of your documents. Therefore, seeing the PWS:Win32/Sekur detection is a clear signal that you need to start the elimination process.

Where did I get the PWS:Win32/Sekur?

Common tactics of PWS:Win32/Sekur distribution are usual for all other ransomware examples. Those are one-day landing sites where victims are offered to download the free app, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait emails are a relatively modern method in malware spreading – you get the e-mail that mimics some normal notifications about shippings or bank service conditions modifications. Within the email, there is a malicious MS Office file, or a link which opens the exploit landing page.

Malicious email message. This one tricks you to open the phishing website.

Preventing it looks pretty easy, but still demands a lot of recognition. Malware can hide in different places, and it is better to stop it even before it gets into your computer than to trust in an anti-malware program. General cybersecurity knowledge is just an important item in the modern-day world, even if your relationship with a computer stays on YouTube videos. That can keep you a lot of time and money which you would certainly spend while seeking a fixing guide.
