Project57 ransomware removal instructions
What is Project57?
There are many ransomware-type programs available on the internet, including Project57, which was first discovered by Michael Gillespie. Like most infections of this type, it encrypts data (makes files unusable) and keeps them in this state until developers receive a ransom payment (in this case, in Bitcoins). Project57 adds the ".[ti_kozel@lashbania.tv].костя баранин" extension to each encrypted file. For example, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.[ti_kozel@lashbania.tv].костя баранин". Project57 also displays a ransom-demand message (in Russian) within an HTML file called "DECRYPT.HTML".
Nostro ransomware removal instructions
What is Nostro?
Discovered by Michael Gillespie, Nostro is a computer infection that belongs to the Garrantydecrypt ransomware family. Once a computer is infected, Nostro blocks access to files by encryption and displays a ransom-demand message within the "#RECOVERY_FILES#.txt" text file. Encrypted files are renamed by adding the ".nostro" (or ".NOSTRO") extension. For instance, "1.jpg" becomes "1.jpg.nostro" (or "1.jpg.NOSTRO").
VACv2 ransomware removal instructions
What is VACv2?
VACv2 is a malicious program (ransomware) that was discovered by MalwareHunterTeam. Like most ransomware-type programs, it is designed to lock (encrypt) files stored on the system. Cyber criminals who design these infections generally demand ransom payments (in a cryptocurrency) to decrypt files. In this case, VACv2 victims are presented with a ransom message in a "$%%! NOTE ABOUT FILES -=!-.html" file. All encrypted files are renamed by adding ".VACv2" plus the victim's ID and developer's email address to the extension. For example, "1.jpg" might become "1.jpg_Z4WAHYZjHWMot6yi_{pittt@prt-decrypt.xyz}.VACv2".
