Written by William Reddy

KUUS notifications come to users who have their computers infected with ransomware. Ransomware is a kind of computer threats that penetrates the system, encrypts particular files or the whole system and requires paying money for the unlocking key. We want to teach you how you must detect ransomware and delete it on your PC.

KUUS ransomware penetrates into systems because of several vulnerabilities in it. Often such intrusions take place after the system is already infected by certain malware, adware or other kind of potentially unwanted program. In many cases injection of KUUS ransomware occurs as a result of users clicking on certain malicious links which they could get via social networks, Skype of other communication media. KUUS ransomware will encrypt many important files in your system without the possibility for you to restore them (unless you actually agree to perform the instructions by the ransomware infection). However, even after you pay that ransom there is still no guarantee that cyber crooks will keep their promises. So, it could end up in total waste of your money and inevitable loss of some of your data.

You also ought to remember that often intrusion of malicious utilities (including KUUS) may take place while installing some free software that can be bundled with other additional programs, whereas some of them could be very dangerous. It’s very important that you do not use any suspicious software download resources but rather use only trusted places for this purpose. Also, make sure to always thoroughly read the supporting documentation related to free applications you intend to make the part of your system. If you read about some suspicious extra bundles, do not permit their intrusion.
