CoinVault Screenshot 1CoinVault is detected as encryption threat, also known as ransomware. When the system is infected with ransomware, your files are encrypted, and users need to pay a 'ransom' if they want to regain control of their computer. CoinVault ransomware is quite similar to the CryptoWall 2.0 ransomware, still CoinVault is the less sophisticated variant. Once you have CoinVault on your computer, most of your files will be encrypted. There is an option for a one-time free decryption, but in the end, you have no choice but to pay the ransom. Once infected with CoinVault, users are forced to pay 0.7 Bitcoin ransom or their system remains locked; additionally, there is a timer that causes the cost to get higher, which is also quite disturbing. In order to prevent your system from ransomware such as CoinVault, computer threat specialists advise users to be extremely cautious for spam emails with corrupted attachments.
