Hi, my computer has been infected by this interesting type of ransomware. It is called EduCrypt virus, and it did not ask me to pay a ransom. It provided a decryption key, which was hidden in /documents folder on my PC. The key is HDJ7D-HF54D-8DN7D. My question is, if I have removed this program from my computer already (I used anti-malware program), does it mean that it is entirely safe now? It has detected EduCrypt virus, but I want to be sure that there are no remains of this threat here. Please answer soon!
What should I do after I remove EduCrypt ransomware?

If EduCrypt ransomware has entered your computer system, you have to use a powerful anti-malware software to remove it. Our advice is to update your anti-malware program to its latest version and scan your computer system several times. It seems that EduCrypt ransomware is not as fearsome as other ransomware variants that we know, however, leaving its remains on your PC means leaving your computer system vulnerable to further malware attacks. If you have scanned your PC with your anti-malware software several times and it found nothing, but you still feel that there is something wrong with it, then you should consider using another anti-malware program.
