How to remove Tyos ransomware

What is Tyos ransomware?

Tyos is a ransomware-type virus in the STOP/Djvu family. This may not explain much, so here’s a more detailed explanation.
Ransomware is a type of viruses that encrypt the files on the infected computer. It then demands you pay the hacker who made the virus for the decryption. As encrypted files cannot be accessed in any way unless they’re decrypted, it is very much like having your files stolen, or, indeed, held for ransom.
Many of these viruses are made using a template; the hackers change the contact information mentioned by the virus, antivirus bypass mechanisms, and encryption methods, but leave everything else as is. This is why they’re classified into “families” by the researchers. All STOP/Djvu viruses are, essentially, iterations of the same virus. This is why they’re so similar to each other. If you compare Tyos to another virus in this family, like Tycx, you will hardly notice any difference.
So what should you do if your computer is infected by this virus? Not pay, that’s for sure. In the ransom note left by the virus (see image above for full text) the hackers quote the decryption price. It’s either $980 or $490, but either way, that’s too high for most people.
This is why you should explore other ways to remove Tyos ransomware and decrypt .tyos files. Some of these ways can be learned from the guide below.

How to remove Typo ransomware

What is Typo ransomware?

Typo is a harmful program in the ransomware category of viruses. It is designed to encrypt the files on your computer so that the hacker can demand money for decrypting them. Typo is a part of the STOP/Djvu family of ransomware.
There is only one reliable way to identify Typo ransomware; the files that were encrypted by this virus have .typo file extension. You cannot use the ransom note to identify this virus because other STOP/Djvu variants, such as Tywd, use the same ransom note template.
Speak of which, the note is called “_readme.txt”. Its full text can be read on the image above, but here’s a short summary of the demands.
The hackers demand $980 from the victim, or $490 if the victim pays within 72 hours. That’s pretty much all the note mentions; for any further information, the victim needs to contact the criminals using one of the two e-mail addresses provided.
But messaging the hackers is not a good idea, even if you’re willing to pay this steep price. Why? Well, they can simply ghost you after receiving payment; they might also try to hack your computer again in the future. This is why you should follow this guide instead. It will explain how to remove Typo ransomware and decrypt .typo files with no contact with the criminals.

How to remove Tywd ransomware

What is Tywd ransomware?

Tywd is a recent variant of STOP/Djvu ransomware virus. All of these variants are nearly identical, since they are made using the same template. You can verify this by checking out Tycx, another recent STOP/Djvu virus.
But what does Tywd actually do? Well, as a ransomware virus, its goal is to encrypt the files on the infected computer, which makes them inaccessible (impossible to open and edit). That, in turn, is done so that the hacker responsible for the virus could demand money to restore these files (decrypt them).
This, essentially, is all Tywd does. It encrypts the victim’s files, gives them .tywd file extension, and creates a ransom note to let the victim know how to contact the hacker and how much money he wants. This note can be read on the image above; however, the paragraph below provides a brief summary.
Tywd’s ransom note, “_readme.txt”, is identical to the notes left by other STOP/Djvu viruses. It provides the victim with two e-mail addresses for contacting the hackers and demands $980 in ransom. Alternatively, the victim can pay $490, provided they message the hackers within 3 days of infection.
Still, that is quite expensive. If you’re not willing to pay, or can’t afford to, there are alternative options. The guide below will explain how to remove Tywd ransomware and decrypt .tywd files without paying the criminals.

How to remove Tycx ransomware

What is Tycx ransomware?

Tycx is a computer virus that operates as ransomware. This means it encrypts the user’s files and demands payment for their decryption. Tycx belongs to the STOP/Djvu ransomware family, and is very similar to other STOP/Djvu viruses such as Qazx.
Every file encrypted by Tycx receives .tycx file extension; its previous extension becomes a part of the file name. So an image named “pic.jpg” would be renamed to “pic.jpg.tycx”, for example.
Tycx ransomware also creates a ransom note, which is called “_readme.txt”. The image above contains the full text of the note, and here’s the overview. The note provides the victim with the hackers’ contact information in form of two e-mail addresses, and demands $980 in ransom. Victims that pay within three days of infection have to pay less, however, only $490.
But neither price is particularly low. Whether it’s a thousand dollars or five hundred, that’s still more than most people are willing to pay to restore their files. And, to add insult to injury, paying doesn’t even guarantee that you’ll get your files back. Often, the hackers will simply take the money and disappear.
So that is quite a predicament, but we have a solution. Read the guide below to learn how to remove Tycx ransomware and decrypt .tycx files without paying or contacting the hackers.
