How to remove Fate ransomware

What is Fate ransomware?

Fate is a new strain of STOP/Djvu ransomware. In most aspects, it is identical to other STOP/Djvu strains. However, the name of the virus, the hackers’ contact information, and the encryption method obviously differ. Fatp is another recent STOP/Djvu strain; if you compare the two, you will see that they’re very similar to each other. Even the ransom note and the demands are the same.
This means that the easiest way to distinguish these viruses is their name. Fate ransomware renames the files it encrypts, adding .fate file extension. Meaning, “note.docx” would be renamed “note.docx.fate”. This extension is the name of the virus.
The ransom note, meanwhile, is located on the Desktop and bears the name “_readme.txt”. The image above contains the full text of the note, but basically, the hackers want $980 for decrypting the files. Those who pay within 3 days of infection are offered a 50% discount; the hackers demand $490 from them.
Don’t fall for this psychological trick. This discount is not a good deal, since you shouldn’t pay anything in the first place, and the sense of urgency this offer creates is completely manufactured. Beyond that, it is common for these hackers to simply disappear once they get the money, without decrypting anything at all.
Instead, you may follow our guide that will explain how to remove Fate ransomware and decrypt .fate files without involving these criminals.

How to remove Fatp ransomware

What is Fatp ransomware?

Fatp is the name of a new ransomware program, which is to say, a program that encrypts all your files and demands payment for decrypting them. It belongs to the STOP/Djvu family of ransomware and is very similar to other ransomware in this family. You can see this similarity for yourself if you compare this Fatp with any other STOP/Djvu virus, for example Zatp.
After encrypting the files, Fatp also changes their names, adding .fatp file extension. So “cat.jpg” would be renamed to “cat.jpg.fatp”, “invoice.docx” would become “invoice.docx.fatp” and so on. The virus also leaves a ransom note named “_readme.txt” on the Desktop. The full text of that note is available on the image above, but here’s the summary.
The hackers want $980 to decrypt the files. A 50% discount is available for those who contact the hackers quickly, however, this is just a manipulation tactic. In fact you shouldn’t contact the hackers at all. Often, the hackers would completely ignore their victims after receiving payment, without bothering to decrypt the files at all. The lazy, nearly-identical nature of STOP/Djvu viruses makes this possibility even more likely.
The guide below provides an alternative to paying the hackers; read it to learn how to remove Fatp ransomware and decrypt .fatp files for free.

How to remove Faust ransomware

Faust ransom note: !!!All of your files are encrypted!!! To decrypt them send e-mail to this address: gardex_recofast@zohomail.eu. If we don't answer in 24h., send e-mail to this address: annawong@onionmail.org This is the end of the note. Below you will find a guide explaining how to remove Faust ransomware.

What is Faust ransomware?

Faust is a ransomware program in the Phobos family. Ransomware programs, generally speaking, encrypt the files on the infected computer with the intention of demanding money for their decryption. But this is not all Faust does.
The virus renames the files when it encrypts them; specifically, it adds a unique ID, the hackers’ e-mail, and .faust file extension to the names. It also leaves a ransom note, which is obviously important as it allows the criminals to communicate their demands. The note, named “info.txt”, can be read on the image above. Another, more verbose, version of the note appears as a pop-up.
It sure looks like the hackers really want you to contact them, leaving their e-mail in the name of every file and in the note as well. It is not hard to understand why; they don’t profit from victims who ignore them. For you, on the other hand, ignoring them may very well be the best course of action. Engaging with the hackers may prompt them to attack you again in the future, and you never know whether they’ll decrypt your files or just take your money and disappear.
To help you with this, the guide below will explain how to remove Faust ransomware and decrypt .faust files without any contact with these criminals.

This is the end of the note. Below you will find a guide explaining how to remove ZeRy ransomware.

What is ZeRy ransomware?

ZeRy is a malicious program that falls under the ransomware category. This means that it encrypts the files on the target computer and then demands money for their decryption. Additionally, files affected by this ransomware program get renamed; specifically, they receive .ZeRy file extension. This is how the virus got its name.
ZeRy belongs to the Xorist ransomware family. Many ransomware viruses in this family have ransom notes written in Russian, but ZeRy is not one of them. Its ransom note, written in plain and understandable English, can be read on the image above.
The short version is, the hackers want 0.05 Bitcoin, which is approximately $830 at the time of writing. However, as cryptocurrencies are highly unstable, this may no longer be accurate by the time you’re reading this. They also threaten to delete the decryption keys if not contacted within 5 days after infection.
You should know, however, that contacting these criminals is a risky affair, and paying them is even riskier. You may become a target for future attacks, and they might not even decrypt your files. The guide below will explain what other options you have to remove ZeRy ransomware and decrypt .ZeRy files.
