What is Vaze ransomware?
Vaze is a dangerous virus; upon infection, it encrypts all files on the affected computer. After doing this, it demands money from the victim, promising to decrypt the files in return. Viruses that do this are called ransomware.
Although countless ransomware viruses exist, all of them demonstrate pretty much the same behavior. Obviously, all of them encrypt files and create a ransom note that contains the demands. Some (though not all) may also rename the encrypted files and change the desktop background.
Vapo does rename the files (giving them .vapo file extension), but does not change the background. Its ransom note is called “_readme.txt”, and demands $980 from the victim. A so-called “discount” is also offered; the price is “lowered” by 50% for the first three days after infection. Don’t be tricked, though; this is just a deceptive way to say that the price will be doubled after three days.
Needless to say, you should not give these criminals a single cent. Aside from the fact that paying will encourage them to create more viruses, paying is also unreliable; many hackers simply take the money but don’t decrypt any files. Instead, why not read our guide? By following its instructions, you should be able to remove Vaze ransomware and decrypt .vaze files without paying.
