How to remove Allah Ransomware and recover encrypted files

Easy tips to delete Allah Ransomware and restore data

Allah Ransomware is a ransomware-type infection that encrypts data, rendering them inaccessible and unusable. Afterward, it creates ransom notes that demand payment for decryption tool/ software. During the encryption process, the ransomware appends the filenames of each of the encrypted files with .allah extension. For example, a file 1.jpg would appear something similar to 1.jpg.allah. After this process is complete, the ransomware creates HELP_DECRYPT_YOUR_FILES.txt text file and drops it on each folder containing encrypted files.

The HELP_DECRYPT_YOUR_FILES.txt file informs the users that their files have been encrypted using AES encryption algorithm. To recover them, they are asked to purchase decryption tool/ key from crooks behind the ransomware. The price of this tool is 100 USD which the users have to pay in Bitcoin cryptocurrency. Prior to the payment, they can test the decryption by sending the crooks an encrypted file. The decryption of this file will be serves as a proof that the recovery is possible.

In most cases with ransomware infection, without the involvement of the crooks behind ransomware, the files decryption is not possible. It might be when the ransomware is at its initial stage or has certain bugs/ flaws in them. Whatever the case, it is expressly advised against meeting the ransom demands. Despite paying, the victims often do not get the decryption tool. Hence, they suffer financial loss and their files remain encrypted. To prevent the further files encryptions, Allah Ransomware removal is necessary. However, this process will not decrypt the already encrypted files.

For the data recovery, therefore, you have to perform actions separately. The sole solution for data recovery is to use existing backups you have. In case, there is no backup available, you should once check if Shadow Copies exist- these are automatically designed backups from OS available for short time. Below the post, in the data recovery section, you will find complete guide how to recover files using the shadow copies. Another data recovery option is to use third party data recovery tools. These tools are nowadays designed with special functionality added and therefore you can anticipate files recovery using them.

How did Allah Ransomware enter my system?

Ransomware and other malicious malware are often proliferated through spam campaigns – mass scale operations during which thousands of deceptive emails are sent. These letters are usually presented as official, urgent, priority, important and similar. The scam emails have infectious files or links for such files in them. The virulent files can be in any formats including archives, executables, and PDF and Microsoft Office documents, JavaScript and so on. When such files are executed, run or otherwise opened- the malware download/ installation process is jumpstarted.

Malware can also be disguised or bundled with regular software and then distributed through untrustworthy downloading channels such as unofficial, free file hosting sites, p2p networks and third party downloaders/ installers. Illegal activation tools and fraudulent updates are the examples of malware-spreading content. Cracking tools cause system infection instead of activating licensed products. Fake software updaters infect systems by exploiting bugs/ flaws of outdated software or by directly downloading malware instead of updates.
