Payms Ransomware is a deceptive threat that is known to encrypt files and hold a computer for a ransom fee. The Payms Ransomware was found to be another variation of the famous Jigsaw Ransomware, where it asks for a ransom fee in Bitcoin to be paid that equates to about $140 to nearly $250 for the victimized computer user to get a decryption key for restoring the encrypted files. Payms Ransomware may come in the form of a spam email attachment zip file, which if opened it will initialize and display a large notification that gives computer users instructions on how to pay the Bitcoin funds and get the decryption key. Removal of Payms Ransomware may be done to prevent encryption but only if Payms Ransomware is stopped in its tracks the instant it is loaded. Computer users may be able to utilize an antimalware application to perform removal of Payms Ransomware but risk having files encrypted the longer it is allowed to run in the background.
