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.
