Velso Ransomware

Your files are likely to be lost if the malicious Velso Ransomware slithers into your Windows operating system, which is why it is essential to protect the system against this malware. If you have not employed a trustworthy anti-malware tool to keep you guarded against malicious activity, it is recommended that you do it as soon as possible. Another thing you must do is back up your personal files – including photos, documents, archives, music files, etc. – because that is the best way to ensure the protection of these files. Even if malware corrupts or destroys the files stored on your computer, you will not lose them if backup copies exist externally. Finally, it is crucial that you become cautious about spam emails because that is how ransomware threats spread most often. If it is too late for you to take these security measures, you need to focus on removing Velso Ransomware. Although this threat is incredibly malicious, deleting it should not be too problematic.

Have you found the “.velso” extension appended to the names of your personal files? If you have, there is no doubt that the malicious Velso Ransomware has slithered in. This threat does not affect system files, and it appears to avoid most .exe files; however, when researching this malware, our research team found that it corrupted the files of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. If browsers are corrupted, it is impossible to browse the web; however, in this situation, all you need to do is find a malware-free device to research the infection. If you do not do this, you might be tricked into doing something stupid. Have you found a file named “get_my_files.txt” placed in every folder with encrypted files? This file is created by Velso Ransomware, and it is not dangerous to open it. That being said, you should not follow the instructions, which suggest that you must email MerlinVelso@protonmail.com to get files decrypted. If you do this, you are expected to send a code attached to the message. Many infections use emails as the primary means of communication, including Lime Ransomware, Anony.killers@protonmail.com Ransomware, and Recuperadados@protonmail.com Ransomware. Instead of following the instructions that the creators of these infections have, you should delete them.

If you contact the creator of Velso Ransomware, you will be pushed to pay a ransom. If you are curious to see how much you would be asked to pay, we suggest using an email address that you will never use again because once cyber criminals know an address, they can continuously flood it with spam. It could even be disclosed to other malicious parties to do the same. What would happen if you paid the ransom requested by the developer of Velso Ransomware? You would lose your money. That is it. You would not get a tool or a password that could magically decrypt your files. Although decryption is possible, cyber criminals do not care about that. They care only about stealing money. If you are thinking about taking the risk, make sure you think things through first. Maybe the corrupted files are not even that important? Of course, we hope that you get your files decrypted by paying the ransom, but that is not something you should bet on. What you can bet on is that you will not be safe until you delete the ransomware.

Where is the launcher of Velso Ransomware? If you know where this file is, you will have no trouble eliminating this devious ransomware from your operating system. What if you cannot erase the launcher file yourself? If this is the case, you should not hesitate to employ help. We recommend using anti-malware software. If any other threat has slithered into your operating system without you knowing it, it will be discovered and deleted by the reliable anti-malware software. Even better, your operating system’s protection will become stronger as this software will enable a full-time defense mechanism. Once your system is protected, you do not need to worry about other threats slithering in, but you should also take the additional security measures discussed at the beginning of this report.
