How to remove DeadBolt Ransomware and decrypt .deadbolt files
DeadBolt is a ransomware virus that hacks QNAP and NAS devices using vulnerability issues to encrypt the stored data. It happens immediately not letting users prevent the process and save their files from strong encryption. Once distributed, the virus hijacks the QNAP login screen to feature a ransom note demanding victims to pay for decryption. This blocks infected users from going anywhere beyond the logging screen to access their admin page, for instance. Though, QNAP noted this can be bypassed by using the following URLs - http://nas_ip:8080/cgi-bin/index.cgi or https://nas_ip/cgi-bin/index.cgi. In addition, all ransom note pop-ups are also contained within a single HTML file called index.html_deadlock.txt. DeadBolt also assigns the new .deadbolt extension to all data impacted within a system. To illustrate, a file like
1.pdf
will change to 1.pdf.deadbolt
becoming fully inaccessible. The same will happen to all files encrypted by DeadBolt Ransomware. You can expand the list of all file extensions targetted by this ransomware variant: How to fix Windows Update error 0x800f0950
This guide is dedicated to resolving issues related to the 0x800f0950 error. This code has been reported by users to happen while installing .NET 3.5 Framework or booting apps or videogames on both Windows 10 and 11.

How to remove Asistchinadecryption Ransomware and decrypt .asistchinadecryption files
Asistchinadecryption was classified as a ransomware infection. This means it is able to encrypt personal data and demand money for its return. During encryption, all compromised files experience visual changes - the virus appends
.asistchinadecryption
along with a victim ID to original filenames. For instance, a file like 1.pdf
will be altered to 1.pdf.asistchinadecryption.C04-41D-05E
and reset its original icon. The same will be applied to all other data only varying with IDs per victim. The file-encryptor also creates a file named !!! ALL YOUR FILES ARE ENCRYPTED !!!.TXT. This is a ransom note meant to provide victims with steps on how to recover the files. How to remove White Rabbit Ransomware and decrypt .scrypt files
White Rabbit is classified as a ransomware program that runs encryption of data to demand money for its return. It was detected by Michael Gillespie - a popular malware researcher specializing in ransomware infections. While encrypting all the important data stored on a system, the virus appends a
.scrypt
extension to the end of each file. For instance, a sample named 1.pdf
will change to 1.pdf.scrypt
and reset its original icon. In addition, all blocked files will get their ransom note files with unique encryption keys. 1.pdf.scrypt
will get 1.pdf.scrypt.txt, 1.xlsx.scrypt
- 1.xlsx.scrypt.txt, and so forth. How to remove WaspLocker Ransomware and decrypt .0.locked files
WaspLocker is quite a devastating virus infection that encrypts personal data with strong cryptographic algorithms. This is to make sure users will be unable to return their data without the help of cybercriminals. Unfortunately, cybercriminals demand their victims to pay 0.5 BTC which is unbearably high. Users attacked by WaspLocker receive this information inside of a text note called How to restore your files.txt and a separate pop-up window with instructions on how to recover blocked files. In addition, WaspLocker developers highlight data encryption by appending new extensions (
.locked
or .0.locked
) and resetting icons of files. For instance, a file like 1.pdf
will alter to 1.pdf.locked
or 1.pdf.0.locked
depending on what WaspLocker version infected your system. How to fix iTunes (iPhone) error 3194

How to remove KMA47 Ransomware and decrypt .encrypt files
KMA47 was developed for the sole purpose - to encrypt personal data and demand money for its return. Such a virus falls into the category of high-risk ransomware infections. The process of data encryption starts with the addition of new .encrypt extension at the end of blocked files and finishes with the creation of read_me.txt - a ransom note explaining instructions on how to recover the files. For instance, a file like
1.pdf
will change to 1.pdf.encrypt
and reset its icon. KMA47 also changes victims' wallpapers. The note says got hacked by the virus resulting in full data encryption. In order to fix it, victims are guided to contact cyber criminals using e-mail communication (manager@mailtemp.ch or helprestoremanager@airmail.cc) and pay a ransom of 100$ eventually. After sending the money, ransomware developers should send your private key and special decryption software to unlock the data. Although cybercriminals might be the only figures able to fully decrypt your data, paying the ransom does not always guarantee you will get it eventually. Unfortunately, manual decryption is also less likely due to strong algorithms and online storage of keys. You can give it a try using third-party decryptors unless you have backup copies available. If you have spare files stored on the safe cloud or physical storage, copy them back and avoid paying the ransom.
