Digisom Ransomware

Digisom Ransomware might not only lock all personal files but also threaten to erase them within two hours after the warning appears. Additionally, the malicious application should drop a few ransom notes demanding to pay the malware’s creators for a chance to decrypt enciphered personal files. Unfortunately, even if victims transfer the money, there is not knowing if they will keep up to the promise and deliver the decryptor. Thus, if you do not want to lose any money in addition to the enciphered files, we advise you not to take any risks and get rid of this infection instead. Users can deal with Digisom Ransomware in two ways. We would recommend removing it with a reliable antimalware tool more, but if you are confident you can manage to eliminate the threat manually, you could try to use the instructions placed at the end of this page.

It is same important to learn how to protect the system from such malicious programs as it is necessary to erase the threat and find a way to restore locked data to its previous state. However, to know how to avoid infections like Digisom Ransomware, you need to know how they could get into your computer. According to our researchers, the malware might be distributed with malicious email attachments. It is enough only to launch such file, and the computer might get infected without the user even noticing anything. That is why users should not open files received from unknown sources unless they are certain there is no harm in it. To feel more confident you could scan suspicious attachments with a reliable antimalware tool first and learn whether the file is infected or not without endangering the computer.

Despite how it might seem Digisom Ransomware should not place any other data besides the dropped ransom note (e.g. Digisom readme6.txt) and the infected file the user downloaded himself. Our specialists say it works right from the directory where this malicious data was saved and launched. Meaning, this single file allows the threat not only to encipher all of the personal files on the computer but also place a warning message on the screen. The pop-up says “dont try to close this program, your file will delete automatically! check your desktop for more information.” Clearly, its purpose is to scare the user and make him look at the ransom note. This document shows a message in which the cyber criminals behind the malware demand the victim to pay them 0.2 BTC (around $200). Of course, in exchange for your money the infection’s creators promise to send you decryption tools so you could unlock damaged data.

The only problem is there are no reassurances since the decryption tools are supposed to be delivered after you transfer the money. In other words, there is a chance the malicious program’s developers might take your money and yet leave you without the decryptor. Therefore, if you do not want to be one of the unlucky users who trusted cyber criminals and lost their money in the process, we would advise you to eliminate Digisom Ransomware and find another way to restore damaged data. For example, you could try to use the backup files or replace encrypted files with copies you might have on an external hard drive, flash drive, remote cloud storage, etc.

Before making any attempts to restore enciphered files, we would advise users to remove Digisom Ransomware just as a precaution. The malware could be erased manually if you follow the instructions located below, but if the task appears to be more complicated than you expected, we encourage you to use reliable antimalware software instead. With such a tool, you could check the whole system and detect data related to the malicious application or other possible threats automatically. After the tool finishes scanning the system, users can easily get rid of all detections by pressing the removal button. If you want to ask for anything else related to the infection or its deletion, feel free to leave us a question below or contact us via social media.
