Sad Computer Ransomware. Should we click?

Sad Computer Ransomware encrypts user’s files if the user answers Yes to its displayed pop-up window that proposes to install antivirus software. In other words, the malicious application tricks its victims into believing it will provide a useful application, but instead encrypts their data with a robust encryption algorithm. Soon after the encryption process, the malware should show another window called Sad Computer. This window shows a text written in questions and answers form. In short, it explains the user will have to pay to get his data decrypted. Of course, dealing with the malicious application’s developers could be risky, and we do not recommend it.
