How to remove Oodt ransomware

What is Oodt ransomware

Oodt is a harmful program that generates money for the hackers who wrote it via ransom – hence the name, ransomware. The easiest thing to hold for ransom for a digital program is, of course, data. The virus encrypts all files on the targeted computer, which makes them impossible to access. To access them again, they need to be decrypted, which the hackers offer to do. The offer is facilitated, obviously, by the virus itself; it creates a ransom note named “_readme.txt” on the Desktop. Check it out on the image above, if you want; the short version is that the hackers want $980 for decryption and use a few psychological tricks to get the victim to pay. One of these tricks is 50% discount within the first 72 hours of infection. The virus also renamed the files that it encrypts, giving them .oodt file extension.
Read below to learn how to remove Oodt ransomware. However, this alone isn’t sufficient; you will also need a way to decrypt .oodt files. This is more difficult, but there are options, too.

How to remove Oovb ransomware

What is Oovb ransomware

Oovb is a computer virus designed to make money for the hacker who wrote it. Generally, viruses can achieve this goal in many ways – cryptocurrency mining, stealing bank accounts, and so on. In this case, however, the money isn’t being directly stolen. Instead, the virus makes all files on the victim’s computer unreadable using a special encryption algorithm, then demands money to decrypt them. This type of malicious programs is called ransomware. Oovb in particular belongs to the STOP/Djvu ransomware family, which means it behaves in a fashion very similar to other programs in this family (compare Hhwq, another ransomware program in the STOP/Djvu family).
Although the encryption method is always slightly different, otherwise these viruses are like peas in a pod. All of them give encrypted files a four-letter extension (after which they are named). This means that Oovb gives encrypted files .oovb file extension. All of them also create a “_readme.txt” file on the Desktop containing the ransom note, which is also always the same except for the hacker’s contact information. You can check Oovb ransom note on the image above.
In this guide, we will explain how to remove Oovb from your computer and how to decrypt .oovb files.

What is Pizzasucker ransomware

Pizzasucker is a illicit program that extorts money out of people by encrypting their files (ransomware). Encrypted files cannot simply be accessed; they need to be decrypted first. The hackers who wrote the virus offer the victim to do just that, for a large amount of money. The offer often includes psychological pressure and other tricks to get the victim to pay.
Most often such programs communicate these “offers” via a simple text file, referred to as a ransom note. The image above contains the full text of Pizzasucker’s ransom note, though it doesn’t really contain much beyond contact information.
In this case, the hackers went an extra mile to get their contacts as visible as possible; the virus gives all encrypted files .ICQ@PIZZASUCKER file extension.
As these cybercriminals often want a lot of money for their “services”, it is best to not pay them. Despite their reassurances to the contrary, it is possible to remove Pizzasucker for free, and you may be able to decrypt Pizzasucker files as well. The guide below will explain what to do.

What is Encfiles ransomware

Encfiles is a harmful program (malware) that was created by hackers to make them money. Once the program is on the victim’s computer, it does several things. First, it encrypts all files it can access. This makes the files completely unusable; you will not be able to view encrypted pictures, read or edit encrypted documents, and so on. The files can be decrypted, however, and hackers – who know how to do this – will “generously” offer their services to you for a not-so-small fee. This is why this type of malware is called ransomware.
This brings us to the second thing the virus does. It creates a file on the desktop called “HOW TO RECOVER ENCRYPTED FILES.TXT”, containing exactly that, instructions and contact information of the hackers. You can read the full document on the image above.
Finally, the encrypted files are all renamed. All file names are changed into unreadable strings of text, while the extension is changed to .encfiles (this is how the virus got its name).
Although hackers claim that it’s impossible to recover the files without paying them, this is more often than not a scare tactic. This guide will explain how to remove Encfiles and decrypt .encfiles files for free.

How to remove HIP1 ransomware

What is HIP1 ransomware?

HIP1 is a computer virus that was made for financial gain known as ransomware. It encrypts the files on your computer so that they cannot be opened and gives these unusable files .HIP1 file extension. Because of this, you cannot simply remove HIP1 and forget about the incident. The hackers offer to decrypt the files, for a fee of course. People often have valuable files (unfinished work, memorable photos, etc.) stored on their computers, and it might very well make them pay. Doing so, obviously, is a terrible idea; the hackers do not offer any actual guarantees, the price they demand is often very steep, and paying them means encouraging more such attacks in the future. This is why they leave ransom notes filled with psychological tricks to create a sense of urgency.
HIP1’s ransom note is called “Read_Me!_.txt”. You can read the full text on the image above. The cybercriminals do not mention the price of their “decryption services”, only the website the victim needs to go to.
Despite the criminals’ claims, it is possible to remove HIP1 ransomware and restore .HIP1 files for free. The guide below will cover the details.

How to remove Oopu ransomware

What is Oopu ransomware

Oopu is a computer virus that illegally makes money for the hackers who made it. Using a special algorithm, files on your computer can be encrypted – password-locked, in very simple terms. The hackers take advantage of this by creating viruses that encrypt (lock) all files on your computer and then demand money to decrypt (unlock) them. Since you don’t know the algorithm or the password, you cannot easily do it yourself (though there are still options available).
This type of viruses is called ransomware. Oopu belongs to the STOP/Djvu ransomware family – a group of viruses that behave very similarly to each other (compare Vvwq, another virus in this family).
A ransom note, called “_readme.txt”, is placed on the desktop by the virus to communicate the hackers’ demands. You can read the full text on the image above. The virus also renames all the files that it encrypts, giving them .oopu file extension; this is how it got its name.
Either way, paying ransom is expensive and unreliable, so it’s much better to remove Oopu for free, and decrypt .oopu files yourself while you’re at it. The guide below will explain how to accomplish this.
