What is Agvv ransomware?
Agvv is a new virus in the STOP/Djvu ransomware family. It is called ransomware because it encrypts all data on infected computers and demands money for the decryption. In practical terms, this means that you lose access to all of your files: documents, pictures, videos, and so on. They will be renamed, receiving .agvv file extension, and you will not be able to open them in any way. The hackers behind this virus programmed it to create a ransom note, called “_readme.txt”. In the note, the hackers say that you must pay them $980 or $490 to get the files back (the price depends on how quickly you pay). However, this is a bad deal, and not just because they want you to pay for something that was yours to begin with. It’s a bad deal because not all hackers hold up their end of the bargain; many simply take the money and disappear. But you don’t have to deal with these shady characters because there are other ways to remove Agvv ransomware and decrypt .agvv files. Keep reading to learn more.
