How to remove Tcvp ransomware

What is Tcvp ransomware?

Tcvp is a malicious program that belongs to STOP/Djvu family of ransomware. Since it is exceptionally similar to other STOP/Djvu viruses, the easiest way to distinguish it is by its name. Being a ransomware program, Tcvp encrypts the victim’s files so that it can demand ransom later; but it also renames them. The affected files are given .tcvp file extension. This extension is the origin of the program’s name and the easiest way to identify it.
Tcvp also leaves a ransom note to inform the victim of its demands. This note, called “_readme.txt” can be found on the Desktop of the infected computer. The image above contains the full text of the note for reference purposes.
All STOP/Djvu viruses demand the same amount of money, specifically, $980. The viruses also offer a 50% discount for these who message the hackers quickly.
As you can see, not much effort gets put into any individual STOP/Djvu virus. They have the same demands, the same ransom notes even. They are all based on the same template. Ransomware hackers often ignore their victims after receiving payment, and don’t bother to decrypt the files at all, and the nature of STOP/Djvu viruses makes it even more likely.
The guide below presents an alternative; a way to remove Tcvp ransomware and decrypt .tcvp files without contacting the criminals.
