Can a ransomware-locked PC be fixed by simply removing the infected hard drive?
No, removing the infected hard drive from a ransomware-locked PC will not necessarily fix the issue. Ransomware typically encrypts the files on the hard drive or locks the system, and simply removing the drive will not decrypt the files or unlock the system. Specialized tools or professional assistance may be required to address ransomware infections effectively.
