Desucrypt Ransomware

Desucrypt Ransomware is a threat that encrypts user’s data and then shows a ransom note asking to pay in Bitcoins for the decryption. However, our researchers say there is a decryption tool created by volunteer IT specialists, which means you may not have to risk your savings to get your data back if you accidentally infected the system with this malicious program. Further, in the article, we will talk more about the malware, including its working manner, possible distribution channels, available deletion methods, and so on. Thus, if you were looking for more information on Desucrypt Ransomware, you came to the right place. In fact, below the text users can find instructions showing how to erase this malicious program manually. Naturally, if these steps appear to be too difficult, we would recommend employing a reliable antimalware tool instead.

The malicious program might enter the system with the help of the user himself. Unfortunately, in most cases system get infected with threats like Desucrypt Ransomware just because the user unknowingly opens some suspicious file he should have checked with a reliable antimalware tool first or just avoided. For instance, the malware could travel with fake software installers, infected pictures, documents, or other files sent via email, and so on. Clearly, there are lots of ways to trick victims into launching such data, for example, the infected email attachment could come with a message claiming it is an important document and must be opened right away or something similar. Therefore, before opening an email attachment, you should always take some time to think if it is worth taking a risk. If the user does not know who sent it or why; probably it is best not to open such a file at all. Another good idea would be to prepare a backup as in such extra situations you could quickly restore important files.

Provided, the threat enters the system it should begin with the deletion of shadow copies. Next, it might disable Windows Error Recovery on Start-up and erase the backup catalog located on the Windows server. It means backup copies made automatically by your system could disappear, which is another reason why we always advise users to come up with some backup system of their own, for example, copy files to flash drives, removable hard drives, cloud storage, and so on. Soon after, Desucrypt Ransomware should begin encrypting user’s private files, such as photos, videos, pictures, various documents, etc. It means the malware is supposed to avoid data located in the Windows, Microsoft, ProgramData, and other directories alike. The user should be able to instantly recognize the encrypted files just by looking at them since each of it should have a second extension called .[rememberggg@tutanota.com].DEUSCRYPT.

Furthermore, when the targeted data is encrypted the malicious program is supposed to drop a ransom note called note.txt. The text in it claims the files were encrypted “due to a security problem with your PC.” Then it suggests that should you want to restore them you must “write us to the e-mail rememberggg@tutanota.com.” As you realize the email belongs to the hackers, who created Desucrypt Ransomware. If the user contacts them, the reply letter will most likely demand to pay a particular sum in Bitcoins. Of course, in exchange, the hackers should promise to send decryption tools. Naturally, it is extremely risky to deal with such people, and we would not recommend doing so, especially when there are free decryption tools created by IT specialists. No doubt you should find this free decryptor on the Internet since it is made available to all.

Lastly, we would like to talk about the malware’s removal. If you are up to the task, you could try to get rid of it manually by following the instructions located at the end of this text. They might appear to be difficult for less experienced users, which is why we suggest another option. Instead of dealing with the malicious program manually, you could install a reliable antimalware tool and do a system scan with it. Then the user could eliminate Desucrypt Ransomware and other possible threats just by pressing the provided deletion button.
