Hi, I am worried about my computer’s safety. Yesterday, I have discovered RenLocker ransomware in my system. I have shut the window and disovered that my files are simply renamed, but not encrypted. Does this mean that I can safely use my computer again? I did not take any other actions to remove Renlocker, since i haven’t found any files related to it on my PC.
Renlocker renamed the files? that's it?

Although RenLocker virus is poorly programmed, you should not underestimate it. It could bring additional malware to your computer at the time you installed it, or download it to the computer later on. For example, it could be installed along Trojans or worms, and you definitely do not want to keep such programs in your PC. Therefore, it is not enough to close the screen locker window if you want your computer to be entirely safe. First of all, you must remove RenLocker ransomware using FortectIntego anti-malware program, and wait until it detects all other dangerous files on your PC. Then command it to delete the malware to clean your PC. In some cases, ransomware blocks security programs to avoid detection, so if this happens to you, follow RenLocker removal instructions provided in this post.
