Complete tips to delete [email protected] ransomware and retrieve data
Recently, computer users have registered complain on [email protected] ransomware attack. Apparently, the virus belongs to Wallet ransomware family.

Sadly, we assume that there is no decryption tool of [email protected] ransomware virus. It corrupts the files stored on the system using a long string of chairs – public encryption key. To restore the damaged files, users require a unique decryption tool. Unfortunately, crooks behind the ransomware are the only people who have the right decryption tool. The malicious malware marks the files with a particular extension, indicating that these files would require a unique key for getting accessed once again. The malware tends to add [[email protected]].wallet extension to the locked data.
After the ransomware attack, you will see a short .txt on the desktop, namely README.txt file. It is a ransom note designed by the crooks behind [email protected] ransomware to allegedly put files recovery instruction. In the ransom note, they instruct users to purchase the unique d encryption tool they have with an exchange of certain amount of ransom fee. The malware authors can be contacted via provided email address. We can already tell you what happens if you contact the crooks.
They ask you buy certain Bitcoins, transfer them to their Bitcoin address and ask you to send a proof that the transaction has been made. Then, they are going to provide you the link of downloading a decryption tool that helps in the files recovery. Keep in mind that scammers might try to infect your PC with even more viruses. They may not provide the decryption tool and simply disappear after receiving the demanded sum. So, we suggest you not to pay/ contact the crooks under any circumstances.
