How to Remove NATIONAL SECURITY BUREAU (NSB) Ransomware?
National Security Bureau is a ransomware that also features screen lock function. This feature of locking the computer screen is found in VIRLOCK variants of ransomware families. The crypt-o-virus once inside the PC encrypts system files and appends the file name with .exe extension without changing the original file name. The new files will be regarded as PEs – portable executables. This renders the files inoperable. The victim is informed about the encryption via a ransom note displayed on the locked window screen.
The note demands “0.661 BTC” ($250) ransom from the victim to allegedly restore the infected files. The subsequent pages of the note educate victim about BitCoin and ways to obtain it.
Users however are advised not to panic and should not agree to pay the ransom under any circumstances as once the ransom is paid victims are ignored. Also agreeing to the terms and conditions of cyber miscreants encourages them to commit other cyber-criminal activities again in the future.
