What is REloadit virus?
REloadit virus is a serious group of threats, which blocks computers down in order to make their owners pay the imaginary fine via REloadit prepayment system.

The name comes from the prepayment system, which should be used by the victim for paying this fine asked on a fake notification. The main thing, which must be kept in mind when having REloadit virus on the system, is that you must ignore this alert that requires paying the money. Even if you have lots of it and you don’t mind losing 100 euros, pounds or dollars(the fine may vary), you won’t have your PC unblocked. For that, you have to follow some special steps given below.

How to prevent from getting ransomware
Stream videos without limitations, no matter where you are
There are multiple parties that could find out almost anything about you by checking your online activity. While this is highly unlikely, advertisers and tech companies are constantly tracking you online. The first step to privacy should be a secure browser that focuses on tracker reduction to a minimum.
Even if you employ a secure browser, you will not be able to access websites that are restricted due to local government laws or other reasons. In other words, you may not be able to stream Disney+ or US-based Netflix in some countries. To bypass these restrictions, you can employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN, which provides dedicated servers for torrenting and streaming, not slowing you down in the process.
Data backups are important – recover your lost files
Ransomware is one of the biggest threats to personal data. Once it is executed on a machine, it launches a sophisticated encryption algorithm that locks all your files, although it does not destroy them. The most common misconception is that anti-malware software can return files to their previous states. This is not true, however, and data remains locked after the malicious payload is deleted.
While regular data backups are the only secure method to recover your files after a ransomware attack, tools such as Data Recovery Pro can also be effective and restore at least some of your lost data.
