What is Win32/Agent.NQS virus?

Win32/Agent.NQS is ransomware-type malware. It searches for the files on your disk drive, ciphers it, and then asks you to pay the ransom for getting the decryption key.

In rare cases, Win32/Agent.NQS can even stop the setup of anti-malware programs.

Ransomware has been a headache for the last 4 years. It is challenging to realize a more dangerous virus for both individuals and companies. The algorithms used in Win32/Agent.NQS (generally, 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 currently exists, and possibly will exist. However, that virus does not do all these bad things immediately – it may take up to a few hours to cipher all of your documents. Thus, seeing the Win32/Agent.NQS detection is a clear signal that you should begin the removal process.

Where did I get the Win32/Agent.NQS?

Usual ways of Win32/Agent.NQS spreading are usual for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing websites where victims are offered to download and install the free app, so-called bait e-mails and hacktools. Bait emails are a quite new method in malware spreading – you receive the email that simulates some regular notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions updates. Within the email, there is a corrupted MS Office file, or a link which opens the exploit landing site.

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

Avoiding it looks quite easy, however, still demands a lot of recognition. Malware can hide in various places, and it is better to prevent it even before it gets into your computer than to rely upon an anti-malware program. Simple cybersecurity awareness is just an essential thing in the modern-day world, even if your interaction with a PC stays on YouTube videos. That can keep you a lot of time and money which you would certainly spend while trying to find a solution.
