The Krypte Ransomware is a dangerous infection that can attack their victims of malicious spam messages. The distributor of this harmful threat can create a misleading E-Mail message, where you are prompted to open your attachment. If you do this, the Ransomware starts secretly and malicious processes initiated. If you have already encountered this insidious threat, you know that it paralyses your operating system with an intimidating ransom. Even though you are, given no way to close this ransom demand, we can show you how you can enforce this. We can also show you how you can remove the Krypte Ransomware regardless of the version that runs at you, from your Windows operating system. The bad news is that the encryption of your files there remains even if you successfully delete this infection. Actually only a special decryption key can help you decipher your files, and unfortunately he is in the hands of malicious cyber criminals.
The Krypte Ransomware saw it clearly on German users off. Even the ransom demand is written in German. Although we can say for sure that different versions will be created this infection does not also for various regions, this version is most likely intended for users who speak that language. Once the Ransomware is running, a malicious file in the % APPDATA % directory is stored. In our case, the file name is “WinOSHelp.exe” and has been placed in their own folder called “WindowsOSHelper”. This is the file that is responsible for the encryption of your files, as well as for the display of the intimidating ransom. According to this claim, you have to pay a ransom of 15-20 euros 72 hours using paysafecard. It is very strange that this infection indicates a certain amount of money you wanted in Exchange for a decryption key. The “crypt”-window that displays the ransom demand, includes also a dialog box for the paysafecard voucher code and your email address. There, it also means that you will receive a decryption key and a decryption program, once you confirm the transaction. Here is an example.
According to our investigation, the Krypte Ransomware aims to files, which can be found in % userprofile %, as well as all subfolders. Documents, photos, videos, and other personal files can be encrypted by this threat. It was found that these Ransomware the AES encryption key used to encrypt files, and the RSA code used for encryption of the private key. On this key you have bent, and the cyber criminals hide him in the C & C server. Obviously, you will approach not even on this key. Are you not sure, which files have been encrypted by this harmful infection? Search the “.fear” extension and randomly generated name. As it turns out, the Krypte Ransomware may appoint new your files using an unknown decoder. Unfortunately this can make it for you hard to determine which files have been tampered with. Must you unlock also your PC first, to see which files have been tampered with. The problem is that you, as soon as you close the window of Ransomware, by stopping their main process (WinOSHelp.exe), only then can reopen this window, when you start the .exe file. This is very important, if you should decide that you want to pay the ransom.
When you consider that the ransom demanded by the Krypte Ransomware is quite low – at least when compared with other threats, such as for example the Cyber splitter vbs Ransomware – you might decide to pay for it. Unfortunately, we can not guarantee that cybercriminals will abide by their word, to provide you with the decryption software. Therefore, you must decide whether you should or not pay the ransom. If you have already stopped the malicious process to access your computer, you must restart the malicious file, to access the form you need for confirmation of payment. If you decide to follow not the instructions of Cyberschurken, you should look for third party decoding software. Currently, no such software exists, but you should still check this. Finally you must, regardless of which way you turn, delete the Krypte Ransomware, and we’ve created a guide that shows how to manually remove these ransomware. Of course, you can install anti-malware software to automatically remove this threat. If you decide to do this – what we recommend – follow first the steps, which show how to close the window of the ransom.
