FinalRansomware removal guide

This is a fresh addition to the large family of ransomware cyber threats which is also an evolution of the GX40 Ransomware virus. The general behavior of FinalRansomware akin to other ransomware programs: it targets most valuable files on the PC and adds a unique extension which cannot be read by the system.

In this particular case, all infected files get a new extension of «.encrypted». It is easy to miss that something is wrong and your security along with the data is compromised if you don’t have any anti-malware protection. After finishing the encryption, this ransomware informs the user with a note that demands a ransom to be paid. Malicious programs like FinalRansomware often suggest using Bitcoin wallets to pay for the decryption key that will bring your files back to normal deleting the .encrypted extension.

According to latest reports, this malware uses AES encryption algorithm. In most cases, ransomware programs demand a set amount of money in exchange for decryption, but FinalRansomware’s demands are unknown until the victim contacts scammers. The ransom note is uninformative and contains just several strings of text. It proves the fact of hacking and prompts to send your ID via email (geekhax@amail.com).

To avoid losing your data we recommend making backups regularly. We also strongly suggest against playing by the hackers’ rules. It is a common practice to threaten users with the removal of all infected files unless a decryption key is entered. But there are no guarantees that cyber criminals will actually unblock your computer and restore the data. Plus, you will become a sponsor for next attacks contributing to the development of newer viruses and malicious software like this one.

According to our analysis and reports we receive, this locker infiltrates your computer via spam emails from the unknown sender. It comes in the form of suspicious attachment (it can be a text file, video, picture and so on). If you receive an email from the unknown source with a strange message and suspicious attachment, don’t rush to open it. Do not download and run executable files or applications from your inbox. There is a high chance of catching a virus, worm, Trojan, etc. by simply clicking infectious links.

There are two ways to get rid of the FinalRansomware. You can do it manually if you know where the original malicious file is hidden. But it might take time. Plus, if you don’t know where to look you can accidentally delete wrong files. To avoid this, we recommend using an anti-malware program such as Plumbytes Anti-Malware or SpyHunter. If your computer is infected with FinalRansomware, it will be eliminated along with other threats found. Having an additional protection against cyber-attacks is highly recommended because other threats might come your way after previous are eliminated.
