What is Bjrtziwsgw ransomware?
Bjrtziwsgw is the name of a new ransomware virus. After infecting a computer, the virus encrypts all user files on it. This means that it will encrypt your pictures, documents, and so on, but will leave the computer functional. These encrypted files cannot be opened or edited; to access them again, decryption is required.
This is precisely what the hacker behind the virus offers, to decrypt the files in exchange for a fee. This information is communicated to the victim via a ransom note, a text file named “HOW TO RESTORE YOUR FILES.TXT”. The image above contains the full text of the note, but you can also keep reading for a short summary.
The note suggests that Bjrtziwsgw was intended to target companies, though it may also appear on ordinary people’s computer too, simply by accident. However, the hackers would most likely refuse to talk to you in this case. The note doesn’t even specify the ransom amount, meaning that they intend to negotiate the price with each victim.
Our guide will provide an alternative way to remove Bjrtziwsgw ransomware and decrypt .bjrtziwsgw files, one that doesn’t involve contacting the hackers at all.
