How to remove FilesRecoverEN Ransomware and recover encrypted files

Complete tips to delete FilesRecoverEN Ransomware and restore files

FilesRecoverEN Ransomware is a huge risk ransomware infection, designed to encrypt stored files and then demand ransom payment for the decryption. During encryption process, it appends the filenames with the following pattern: original filename, unique ID assigned to the victim, cybercriminals’ email address and a random 4-character extension. For example, a file 1.jpg would appear something similar to “1.jpg[[email protected]].1aLA” – after encryption.

Once being encrypted, ransom notes are dropped in a pop-up window (“ReadMe_Now!.hta”) and “Read_Me!_.txt” text files, available on each compromised folder. The text file simply states that the files have been locked and that they must write an email to the crooks behind it to get the decryption instructions. Additionally, it warns the users not to edit files and folders. The presented pop-up window provides further detailed information.

The pop-up window is the one that clarifies about the files encryption and instructs that the decryption tools must be purchased from the crooks behind FilesRecoverEN Ransomware if they want the data back. To initiate the recovery process, the users are asked to establish contact to them via the provided email address. The price of decryption tool is not stated anywhere in the ransom notes. The pop-up window provides little information that only bitcoin payment is acceptable and that price will be doubled if no contact is being made in 48 hours.

Prior to the payment, the victims are offered free decryption service. They can test for the files decryption for not more than 2 MB files. The files offered for the test do not contain any valuable data like databases, backups and etc. The pop-up message ends with a warning to the users that using third party decryption tool/ software can render the files inaccessible permanently. In ransomware infection cases, files decryption requires the crooks’ involvement because they have the right decryption tool.

In certain cases, ransomware viruses have some flaws/ bugs and so security researchers manage to crack the code used for the files decryption and successfully create official decryption tool that the users can use for free or with some affordable price. Unfortunately, there is no such tool available for FilesRecoverEN Ransomware virus. Therefore, when your system got infected with this virus, you left with the two options – pay/ contact to the crooks and fall for the scam (as these people never provide the decryption tool) or look for some other alternative.

The possible data recovery options available for you are backups you have, Shadow Volume Copies and data recovery tools. Backups are the ones that were created before the files encryption and stored on some remote location than the system during the time of attack. If you have no such backups, kindly check if shadow copies – the automatically created backups from OS (available for short time) exists. You will find complete guide on how this to be done in the below data recovery sections. Data recovery tools are other data recovery option available for you.

Before using any of the stated data recovery methods, make sure that FilesRecoverEN Ransomware virus is removed from the system so as to avoid its interference. The malware removal is also needed to be done to prevent further files. Also, the ransomware removal will prevent various possible risks associated with the cyber-infection. You will find manual as well as automatic guide to remove FilesRecoverEN Ransomware from the system just below the post. Follow the instruction so that you will successfully remove the malicious threat and will easily recover the files without any fear of counter-attack by the ransomware.

How did FilesRecoverEN Ransomware infiltrate my systems?

Ransomware and other malicious malware are often distributed via untrustworthy downloading sources, such as p2p networks, free file hosting sites and third party downloaders/ installers. Malicious programs are usually downloaded inadvertently because they are disguised as or bundled with ordinary software. The illegal activation tools and fake updaters are the prime examples of malware spreading content obtained from dubious download channels. Cracking tools spread malware by supposedly bypassing activation keys of paid software whereas fake updating tools do the same by exploiting bugs/ flaws of outdated software or by directly download malware.

Malware can also be distributed through spam email campaigns – these are mass-scale operations during which thousands of deceptive/ scam emails are sent. The letters contain infectious files or links for such files as attachments. These files are usually archives, executables, PDFs, Microsoft Office Documents, JavaScript and so forth. When these files are executed, run or otherwise opened – the malicious malware download/ installation process is triggered.  To trick people into opening such email attachments, the letters present them as some legit invoices, notifications from reputable companies.
