How to remove Jvsmd Ransomware and recover files

Complete guide to delete Jvsmd Ransomware and decrypt data

Jvsmd Ransomware is a ransomware-type infection that encrypts stored files and then demands ransom payment for the decryption. The affected files are appended with a random character string and the .jvsmd extension. For example, a file 1.jpg would become “1.jpg.w0oxe-2nJxmKnYZJHyu4LeSZkb9cQBKVrCiGG2xbA07_c04aX3WOXW00.jvsmd” and so on.

Once the files encryption process is finished, the ransomware creates a text file titled “jrR7_HOW_TO_DECRYPT.txt” and drops it onto the desktop. This file contains ransom demanding note. It is the one that informs the victims that their network was breached, files were encrypted and the sensitive data ex-filtrated.

This message instructs them paying ransom for the decryption and threatens that if they avoid doing that, the stolen data will be made publicized. The note concludes with various warnings. Usually, in ransomware infection cases, the files decryption really requires a unique decryption tool that the crooks behind the infection have.

However, contacting/paying the shady individuals is not a good choice. There is a risk of getting scammed. The crooks often do not provide the decryption tool even if all their demands are met. Thus, the victims experience financial loss and their data remain encrypted. Therefore, we recommend you think of some reliable data recovery options for the files recovery.

Shadow Copies are one such data recovery option. In some cases with ransomware infection, this automatically created backup from Windows OS is left untouched during the entire process of the system attack and files encryption. This could be the case with Jvsmd Ransomware infection as well – check the data recovery section below for more on shadow copies and how to recover files using it.

Another data recovery option for you is to use third party data recovery tool. We do not guarantee that these third party tools will definitely help you in files recovery. But, you should have a try once. If you have existing backups, you can skip all such data recovery methods. Simply remove Jvsmd Ransomware and use the backups to restore the files. To perform complete system cleanse, using powerful AV tool is a strongly recommendation for you.

How did Jvsmd Ransomware enter my system?

Ransomware and other malicious malware are often proliferated through spam email campaigns. These emails can have infectious files attached to or linked inside them. The virulent files could be archives, JavaScript, executables, PDF and Microsoft Office documents, JavaScript and so on. When these files are opened- the infection process is triggered.

Malware can also be spread through dubious downloading channels such as unofficial and freeware sites, p2p networks and etc. Illegal activation tools and fraudulent updaters can also cause system infection. Cracking tools infect systems by allegedly bypassing activation keys of paid software. Fake updaters infect systems by exploiting bugs/ flaws of outdate software and/or by installing malicious programs.

– Do not modify or rename encrypted files. You will lose them.

– Do not report to the Police, FBI, etc. They don’t care about your business. They simply won’t allow you to pay. As a result you will lose everything.

– Do not hire a recovery company. They can’t decrypt without the key. They also don’t care about your business. They believe that they are good negotiators, but it is not. They usually fail. So speak for yourself.

– Do not reject to purchase. Exfiltrated files will be publicly disclosed.
