Encrp is another drastic infection that encrypts personal data and demands victims to pay a ransom. It was discovered by Jirehlov Solace who therefore categorized it as ransomware. During the study, it turned out that Encrp infects stored data assigning the .encrp extension. This means that after encryption, you will see all files look like this 1.mp4.encrp. This is not the end of the process yet, users are then presented with a text note (__READ_ME_TO_RECOVER_YOUR_FILES.txt) which contains information upon decryption. It is said that victims should send approximately 200$ in BTC to the account of cybercriminals. Then, the final step is to send an e-mail message including transfer and computer IDs. If everything works out, you will be given the necessary tools to decrypt files. In other cases, there is a chance that swindlers decide to ignore their promises and leave you nothing, but disappointment.

Ragnarok is a ransomware infection discovered by Karsten Hahn. The consequences of this attack are similar to other threats of such type - encryption of stored data by adding a new extension. Developers of Ragnarok Ransomware may have other versions of the virus, however, this case involves the assignment of .thor or .ragnarok_cry extensions. No additional symbols are included, you will see a file with the malicious extension at the end (1.mp4.ragnarok_cry). Once the encryption process is complete, users receive a note with decryption steps called How_To_Decrypt_My_Files.txt (alternatively, !!Read_me_How_To_Recover_My_Files.html). The text note states that encrypted files can be unlocked only with a special tool, which is held by cybercriminals. In order to get it, people have to contact swindlers and send the required fee of BTC to their address. You can also provide a file (less than 3Mb) for free decryption. This way, extortionists are allegedly proving that they can be trusted. In reality, they can dump you and ignore the fact that you have paid for the recovery. The deletion of Ragnarok Ransomware will not decipher your files, however, this is important to do to prevent further encryption of data.

Solve Ransomware is a malicious piece that specifies in encrypting network storage. Victims who had their NAS storage infected, experienced files change with the new .encrypted extension, so one of them would appear like this 1.mp4.encrypted. This extension is more generic and has been used by many ransomware developers. Solve Ransomware has not had enough examination to provide tools for unlocking the assigned cipher. This is why the extortionists offer to contact them and pay the ransom in BTC via instructions presented in a text note (SOLVE ENCRYPTED FILES.txt) that is created after the encryption process gets done. Unfortunately, this option does not guarantee transparency and honesty of swindlers. You can be fooled and not given any decryption tools even after making payment. This is why we recommend you delete Solve Ransomware and try to decrypt data via some basic instruments provided below.

Egregor is ransomware that belongs to Sekhmet family and promotes various versions of malware. This time around, users reported dealing with the virus called Egregor that encrypts private data and demands paid decryption. Depending on which version attacked your system, the encryption process may vary a little bit. For example, Egregor adds .egregor extension to each of the infected files so they look like this 1.mp4.egregor. Alternatively, files can receive a string of randomly-generated characters (1.mp4.WaBuD). After the encryption gets finished, the virus goes further creating a note called RECOVER-FILES.txt that contains step-by-step instructions to recover the compromised data. It is said that victims have to get in touch with cybercriminals no later than 3 days via the attached browser link. If the announced deadline comes to an end, extortionists will publish sensitive data all over the web. Cybercriminals can ask different fees for the recovery. Sometimes the amount can exceed thousands of dollars, especially if data has a significant value to owners. Unfortunately, you will not be able to find any free tools to decrypt the files affected by Egregor. At this moment, the only feasible way to recover data is by using an external backup if one was created prior to the encryption.

RenameX12 is a ransomware infection that encrypts files of different sorts. Unlike similar infections of this type, it does not add any extensions or symbols to identify the blocked files. All data appear original even after the actual attack. This is made by extortionists intentionally to prevent users from detecting the name of the ransomware as well as finding ways to decrypt files. Despite this, cyber experts managed to crack the mystery and established the virus name via the text note (New Text Document) that is created after encryption. This note contains instructions to help you recover the locked data. Swindlers ask victims to contact them via one of the attached e-mails. After you pay the ransom (usually in Bitcoin) you will receive decryption tools to decipher the data. However, this is a huge risk since there is no evidence that could testify their trustworthiness. The best way to decrypt files is to delete the ransomware itself and recover data from external backups if one was created prior to the encryption.

Mount Locker is a file-encrypting program that targets data of business networks. It isolates different kinds of data by appending a new extension that includes ReadManual and a string of random characters. For instance, after encryption, victims will see their file change from 1.mp4 to 1.mp4.ReadManual.5B975F6B. Interesting fact: as one of the victims stated, some files that changed their names after penetration, were not encrypted at all. They were only affected visually. Whatever the case, Mount Locker always drops a note called RecoveryManual.html that explains step-by-step instructions on how to recover the locked files. It says that no files should be attempted to decrypt manually. Otherwise, it can turn out in a permanent loss. To restore your data, cyber criminals ask to follow the Tor browser link and pay the ransom in BTC. Because Mount Locker aims at IT companies, the required fee can boil over the limits. However, this still remains the only feasible way to revive files since there are no free methods to make a recovery. You can only restore them from an external backup if one was created and unplugged prior to the infection.

If you are concerned about your connection and receiving the above message, then you are on the right post because we are going to solve it together. The appearance of WiFi doesn't have a valid IP configuration error prevents users from establishing a connection with the Wi-Fi network. Unfortunately, attempts to restore the router or unplug the power usually turn out unsuccessful because the error indicates other problems such as malfunctioned TCP/IP, faulty network settings, hardware issues, malware, and manual intervention. Below, we will show a range of steps that will guide you towards successfully solving the problem.

Also known as STATUS_IN_PAGE_ERROR, 0xc0000006 error appears when trying to execute a third-party software. Those who stumble upon the problem, face a message like "The application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000006. Click OK to close the application". This may restrict you from accessing games, tools, and other software downloaded from the web. The reason for this issue may be related to corrupted system files, software incompatibility, and registry issues based on the AppInst_DLLs key. Tolerating such a disturbing problem downgrades PC performance preventing people from fully-fledged experience. Thus, we will help you get rid of it with a step-by-step guide down below.
