Remove Serpent Ransomware

Serpent Ransomware is a software that asks for a ransom to release personal files it has taken as hostages. Serpent Ransomware acts by encrypting user files which won’t be available again unless you get the needed key. Serpent Ransomware asks for money in exchange for this key. All this information is given usually through a text file left on the user’s desktop. Serpent Ransomware also adds the extension .serpent to all encrypted files.

To minimize your risks if you are ever infected you must regularly perform backups. On the other hand, don’t open e-mails whose sender you don’t know, always make sure the address is correct. Mistrust addresses who seem familiar but are not 100% the one you know, attackers might discover familiar names (such as company names) to trick you into a mistake. When in doubt is best not to open them at all. Specially avoid opening files with the following extensions: SCR, CAB, JS or EXE. Don’t read your e-mail or browse the internet if you’re using an administrator kind of account. Make sure to create a “user” account. Install an antivirus and keep it up to date. On the same lines, make sure your OS is always updated.

The following guide will help you remove Serpent Ransomware and stop this infection.
