How to remove MrJeck Ransomware: Restore locked files

MrJeck Ransomware encrypts data and demand ransom payment for decryption

MrJeck Ransomware is malicious program considered as Ransomware. This dubious file virus operates by encrypting all types of files stored in your computer hard drive and demands ransom payment for the decryption. It claims that the decryption is possible only when you pay ransom money for decryption keys/software. During encryption process, it modifies each file with “[random_string].[[email protected]]”. For example, it renames “1.png’ filename to “kfaWvoAynolu04.[[email protected]]”.

After encryption process is finished, “Read Me Please!.txt” text files as ransom notes are dropped into each folder of your computer that contains locked files. The text presented in ransom note states that all files of your computer have been locked and you need to establish the contact with cybercriminals via given email address ‘[email protected]’ for the decryption. It also states that you need to include the ID assigned to you during encryption process, as title/subject of email.

In most cases, ransomware developers behind this type of ransomware attack don’t offer any right decryption keys/software even when ransom money is paid. In this case, MrJeck Ransomware does bogus promise to decrypt your all locked files immediately, once ransom money is paid. As proof that they have right decryption keys, they can provide some free decryption keys for some locked files, and after free decryption test is finished, you will be asked to pay certain amount of extortion money to decrypt all files locked by this ransomware.
