The ransomware known as Lampar ransomware is classified as a highly harmful threat, due to the possible harm it might do to your device. If you have never heard of this type of malware until now, you are in for a shock. Ransomware uses strong encryption algorithms for file encryption, and once they are locked, your access to them will be prevented. Ransomware is so damaging because file restoration is not necessarily possible in all cases. You do have the choice of paying the ransom for a decryptor but that's not exactly the option malware researchers suggest. Giving into the demands doesn't always guarantee file decryption, so there is a possibility that you might just be wasting your money. There is nothing preventing crooks from just taking your money, without giving you a way to decrypt data. Secondly, by giving into the demands, you would be supporting their future activities, such as more ransomware. Do you actually want to support something that does many millions of dollars in damage. People are attracted to easy money, and when people pay the ransom, they make the ransomware industry appealing to those types of people. Investing the money you are demanded to pay into backup may be a better option because losing data wouldn't be a possibility again. If backup was made before the ransomware contaminated your system, you can just remove Lampar ransomware virus and recover files. If you're wondering about how the infection managed to get into your device, we'll explain the most frequent distribution methods in the following paragraph.
