Where did I get the Win32/Agent.WUO?

Routine ways of Win32/Agent.WUO distribution are typical for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing websites where users are offered to download and install the free program, so-called bait e-mails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a pretty modern tactic in malware spreading – you receive the email that simulates some normal notifications about shippings or bank service conditions changes. Inside of the email, there is a corrupted MS Office file, or a link which opens the exploit landing site.

Malicious email spam

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

Preventing it looks pretty uncomplicated, but still requires a lot of awareness. Malware can hide in different places, and it is much better to stop it even before it goes into your system than to rely on an anti-malware program. Standard cybersecurity awareness is just an important thing in the modern world, even if your relationship with a computer stays on YouTube videos. That may keep you a lot of time and money which you would certainly spend while looking for a fix guide.
