What is Rans_recovery ransomware?
Rans_recovery is a virus that generates money using ransom. Because of this behavior, it has been classified as ransomware. Although there are thousands of ransomware viruses out there, all of them are pretty similar to each other. All of them have the same goal, after all.
Rans_recovery is not unique in that regard. After infecting the target computer, it will encrypt the files and rename them (giving them .rans_recovery file extension). Once this is done, it will create a ransom note (“Recovery.txt”, can be read on the image above) and change the desktop wallpaper.
The note explicitly states that Rans_recovery targets companies and not individuals. Many hackers choose to do this, as companies usually have data that is much more valuable than what an average person would have. Of course, regular people’s computers may still get infected by accident.
Contacting the hackers is not a good idea; they will likely find you beneath their notice. Also, many hackers don’t decrypt data after receiving payment. Instead, you should learn about alternative ways to remove Rans_recovery ransomware and decrypt .rans_recovery files. Several methods are outlined in the guide below.
