remove djvu ransomware Archives

STOP Ransomware (a.k.a. DJVU Ransomware) is extremely dangerous virus that encrypts files using AES-256 encryption algorithm and adds .rectot extension to affected files. Infection mostly involves important and valuable files, like photos, documents, databases, e-mails, videos etc. Rectot Ransomware does not touch system files to allow Windows operate, so users will be able to pay the ransom. If the malware server is unavailable (computer is not connected to the Internet, remote hackers’s server does not work), then the encryption tool uses the key and identifier that is hard-coded in it and performs offline encryption. In this case, it will be possible to decrypt the files without paying the ransom. STOP Ransomware creates _readme.txt file, that contains ransom message and contact details, on the desktop and in the folders with encrypted files.
