The idea behind it is that it encrypts all or most of the personal documents that you can find on a victim&rsquo;s computer with a very powerful encryption algorithm. Once the files are encrypted, then you will receive a message that your data is encrypted and the only thing you can do is to remove that encryption by paying a certain fee. Usually, this will cost you in Bitcoins and it can be very expensive.<\/\/p><div class=\"wpInsert wpInsertInPostMy wpInsertMiddle\"><\/div><h2>How can the SIGRUN ransomware get on your computer?<\/h2>\n<p>Just like any other ransomware or malware arrives on your computer.<br \/>\nSIGRUN is basically coming from infected websites and files that you download from the web.<br \/>\nThis is why you need to get your downloads only from reputable websites.<br \/>\nOtherwise, you will be placing all your data and content in danger.
