Where did I get the WinGo/RanumBot.AV?

Usual tactics of WinGo/RanumBot.AV spreading are common for all other ransomware examples. Those are one-day landing websites where users are offered to download the free app, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait emails are a relatively modern strategy in malware distribution – you get the e-mail that mimics some routine notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions shifts. Inside of the e-mail, there is an infected 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.

Avoiding it looks quite easy, however, still demands tons of attention. Malware can hide in various spots, and it is better to stop it even before it gets into your computer than to rely on an anti-malware program. Simple cybersecurity awareness is just an important thing in the modern-day world, even if your interaction with a computer remains on YouTube videos. That can save you a lot of time and money which you would spend while seeking a fix guide.
