How to remove Torm ransomware

What is Torm ransomware?

Torm ransomware is a virus in the STOP/Djvu family designed to encrypt your files (which makes them inaccessible) and demand ransom for them.
There are many STOP/Djvu viruses out there: Jywd, Tyos, and Typo are a few recent examples. If you compare these viruses with Torm, you will find that they are very similar. That is because they were created using the same template.
After encrypting the files, the virus gives them .torm file extension. This means that a file called “image.png” will be renamed to “image.png.torm” after encryption.
Torm virus also creates a ransom note, in which the hackers tell the victim how much they should pay and provide contact information. This note is called “_readme.txt”, and you can read it on the image above. There’s no need for that, though; we will describe the demands for you.
The hackers want to be paid $980 for them to decrypt the files. But if the victim pays quickly, the price is lower: $490. Of course, this is still a substantial amount of money, and so you may want to explore other ways to remove Torm ransomware and decrypt .torm files. The guide below describes several such methods, so keep reading.
