The crooks behind the FinalRansomware scam will try to infect you by various means. The most common methods are:
- Email Spam – the crooks send emails that look like they were sent from a legit company like PayPal or Amazon.
- Update spam – the crooks mask the virus to look like a Chrome, Skype, or Word update.
- Pirated malware – illegally copied content often includes viruses like FinalRansomware.
All of these methods of distribution are possible, but the first one is the most effective and heavily utilized by scammers.
