How to remove Bagli Ransomware and restore encrypted files

Easy tips to delete Bagli Ransomware and decrypt data

Bagli Ransomware is a ransomware-type virus. Typically, virus of this kind encodes all stored files, rename them and then demand ransom payment for the decryption. Instead of encoding the files, Bagli virus overwrites the content of the files and makes them unusable. The filenames of each affected files will get appended. The malware adds .bagli extension to them. Next to this, it drops oxu.txt text file and drops it on each folder containing encrypted files.

The .txt file contains ransom demanding message written in Azerbaijani language. It informs the users that their files have been encoded and that the files recovery requires a using a unique decryption tool that they can purchase from the crooks behind Bagli Ransomware by with an exchange of the price $350 in Bitcoin. The message contains the email address belongs to them for the contact and the Bitcoin wallet address where the payment is to be paid. As said, the ransomware overwrites the files and so the files are not encrypted but got damaged. No any decryption tool can help you in files recovery.

Even the case is that the files got encoded, paying/ contacting the crooks is not a good choice as these people will never provide the decryption tool even if all their demands are met. Files got damaged and so backups are the only option using which you can launch your files recovery. Other data recovery option is to use Shadow Copies – the automatically created backups help you in files recovery in the original form or from the last restore point. Data recovery tools are other possible data recovery option for you.

How did Bagli Ransomware infiltrate my computer?

Usually, malicious programs are distributed through Trojans, phishing emails, and unreliable sources for downloading files, fake software updaters and unofficial software activation tools. Trojans are malicious malware especially designed to install its payload – it can install additional malware. Spam emails cause system infections via malicious attachments or links. Crooks use the emails to trick people into opening malicious Microsoft Office, PDF document, JavaScript file, RAR, ZIP or other archive file, executable file.

Furthermore, malware can be downloaded/ installed through untrustworthy file and software downloading channels as well. For examples, p2p networks, free file hosting sites and third party downloaders/ installers. Users install the malware when they download malicious files and then open/ execute them. Those files look like legitimate, regular files. So, the users often fall for the downloading ransomware manually when they come to these shady pages.

Third party software updating tools infect systems by directly installing malware, or by exploiting bugs, flaws of installed software that is out of date. Those tools will never update or fix any legit software. Unofficial software activation tools tend to be designed to install malware too. They are often bundled with malware/ have a malicious code injected into them. It is popular for such tools to be used to trick people into updating/ activating the installed software on their system.
