Ransomware has actually been a horror story for the last 4 years. It is hard to picture a more damaging malware for both individual users and organizations. The algorithms used in Trojan:Win32/Qakbot.PKQ!MTB (typically, 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 horrible things immediately – it can take up to a few hours to cipher all of your documents. Hence, seeing the Trojan:Win32/Qakbot.PKQ!MTB detection is a clear signal that you need to begin the clearing process.

Where did I get the Trojan:Win32/Qakbot.PKQ!MTB?

Standard methods of Trojan:Win32/Qakbot.PKQ!MTB distribution are usual for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing web pages where victims are offered to download the free app, so-called bait e-mails and hacktools. Bait emails are a pretty modern tactic in malware distribution – you get the email that simulates some standard notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions modifications. Within the e-mail, there is an infected MS Office file, or a link which leads to the exploit landing site.

Malicious email spam

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

Avoiding it looks quite easy, however, still requires tons of awareness. Malware can hide in different spots, and it is far better to prevent it even before it invades your PC than to trust in an anti-malware program. Essential cybersecurity knowledge is just an essential item in the modern world, even if your interaction with a PC remains on YouTube videos. That may save you a great deal of money and time which you would spend while searching for a fix guide.
