STOP/Djvu has been one of the most popular and devasting ransomware families that target a lot of worldwide users. It is operated by experienced developers that create and issue new ransomware versions on a regular basis. Alike other malware of this type, STOP/Djvu uses strong cryptographic algorithms along with assigning custom extensions to restrict access to data. After this, users become unable to open their files as they are blocked with secure ciphers. While being depressed and mentally down after receiving the virus, cybercriminals offer a file-saving solution - to buy special decryption software that will return access to data. They show ransom instructions inside of a note (.txt, HTML, or pop-up window) that is created at the end of encryption. Victims are often instructed to contact developers and send an estimated sum of money in BTC or other cryptocurrencies. However, it is obvious that many would like to avoid it and recover the files for free or at least at a low price. This is exactly what we are going to talk about today. Follow our guide below to learn all the necessary steps you should apply to decrypt or restore files blocked by STOP/Djvu.

If you opened this guide, then you are likely to be a victim of You don't currently have permission to access this folder - an error that pops while trying to open some folder directory. Many users started facing this issue after migrating from older versions to Windows 10. As a result, this error became a huge bottleneck preventing users from opening folders, running deletion, or even affecting some plain changes. The symptoms are quite similar to "Access denied", which is another popular message deteriorating users' experience. Usually, the most common reasons for problems with accessing folders are related to user permissions. If some of them are disabled or run into conflict, users may have restricted access to some directories including files and folders located within. Luckily, the problem is more than solvable with a couple of simple steps. Make sure to follow them down below to resolve the "You don’t currently have permission to access this folder" error.

0xc00000f is quite an unpleasant error able to pop any time during your PC experience. It shuts down your system displaying the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). As a result, Windows tries to gather some data and restart your PC back to normal usage. Unfortunately, this is hardly the case with 0xc00000f. This error often prevents users from booting the system and trying to address the causes straight from the desktop. Usually, being unable to boot due to the 0xc00000f error means there is something wrong with Boot Configuration Database as Windows fails to read it. In other words, Windows states that some Boot file is corrupted or missing. The reason for that could be a shortage of power, malware intervention, disk errors, and even problems with physical cables. It is impossible to define which one of them relates to your situation, thus, it is necessary to try all available solutions until you find the culprit. You can do it using our instructions with dedicated steps to each method below.

NRCL blocks access to data and asks its victims to pay the so-called ransom. Malware that runs data encryption and extorts money from the infected is usually categorized as ransomware. NRCL does it using strong cryptographic ciphers to prevent manual file decryption. Upon its successful encryption, files stored on a system will undergo two visual changes - the new .NRCL extension and icons reset to blank. A sample that went through these changes would look something like this 1.pdf.NRCL. In addition, NRCL creates a text file called Note.txt with instructions on how to return your data. The same information is also concealed inside of a small decryption utility that can be opened through NRCL_Decryptor.exe. The content of both files says there is only one way to recover your data - pay 300$ for the decryption. Extortionists also guide victims to not shut their PC or run manipulations with files. To complete the payment and get a special decryption key, victims have to contact developers via e-mail communication. After that, victims should receive the key, insert it into the dedicated space of the pop-up window and click on Decrypt. However, at the moment of writing this article, malware experts found that e-mails provided by NRCL are non-existent meaning this ransomware can still be under development.

While being developed by ClientConnect Ltd, Go.next-search.net is the address of an Internet Search Portal meant to earn money on sponsored content. It is a by-product of Search Protect - the browser hijacker promoted via free bundles of software. After successfully getting installed in a system and changing the necessary browser settings, users will see Go.next-search.net open instead of their default homepage. This page displays its own search bar and quick links to access popular resources and social media. While this website is not malicious or dangerous, its behavior is definitely unwanted and should be avoided if you received such changes without your consent. In addition to this, Go.next-search.net is based on Bing search engine meaning it doesn't generate results that could be unique and better than others. As mentioned, its main goal lies in the promotion of content (e.g. various links, ads, etc.) to generate traffic and garner some money. Although the entire promotion and search integrations are set on legitimate terms, software that got installed without your consent should be deleted to prevent privacy risks. It is also quite senseless to use software that has no inventions to offer against already existing giants like Google, Yahoo, Bing, and other search engines. To remove Go.next-search.net completely and without traces, follow our tutorial below. There is also a section dedicated to how Search Protect and other hijackers can end up on your PC.

Also known as Client Service Runtime Process, Csrss.exe is a legitimate system process that is essential to Windows health. It can be found running alongside other background processes in Task Manager. The native location Csrss.exe is always rooted to C:\Windows\System32\. If you find it present in other directories, more likely it is a virus infection disguised as a legitimate process. Cybercriminals take the names of Windows processes to hide trojans or similar software. By doing so, they also obscure scanning algorithms of anti-malware software, which sometimes struggles to define it as malware. Despite this, it is quite easy to determine whether this process is malicious or not. You can find it amongst the list of background processes in Task Manager, right-click on it and choose "Open file location" to see where it is. If you suspect it is a virus indeed, make sure to follow our guidelines below. The Csrss.exe process is known to be exploited by malware developers to hide malicious software that steals personal data and triggers the installation of other programs as well. This is why it is necessary to remove it as soon as possible before it deals severe privacy damage.

MME is categorized as a ransomware infection that spreads into unprotected systems to encrypt data and extort money from victims for its return. The virus uses its own extension (.MME) to highlight the blocked data and make users spot its restriction. For instance, a previously untouched file called 1.pdf will change to 1.pdf.MME and reset its original icon upon successful encryption. As a result of this change, victims will no longer be able to access the file. In order to fix this and get back to regular usage of files, cybercriminals offer to opt for the paid solution - buy special decryption software that will return your data. Instructions to do are listed in a text note named Read_Me.txt that comes along with the encryption. You can take a look at its detailed content here below:
