How to remove Rozbeh Ransomware and recover files

Easy tips to delete Rozbeh Ransomware and decrypt data

Rozbeh Ransomware, also known as R. Ransomware, is a malware that encrypts stored files, changes their filenames and creates read_it.txt file. It renames the files by appending four random characters. For example, it renames 1.jpg to “1.jpg” to “1.jpg.7ufr”, “2.jpg” to “2.jpg.1ytu”.

The text file contains ransom note that encourages users to pay to supposedly decrypt the compromised data. It states that it is impossible to restore the files without a key that can be purchased from the crooks behind the infection.

It contains a bitcoin wallet address that is to be used to pay for that key. It includes an email address belongs to the crooks and a Discord username that the users can use it for contacting to the crooks behind the infection.

Usually, it is crooks behind the ransomware the ones who can help victims in decrypting their files. However, it is not recommended to pay them a ransom –paying ransom does not guarantee that the attackers will send the decryption tool.

Removing Rozbeh Ransomware in fact will not decrypt the files, although it is necessary to prevent further files encryption and avoid possible system damages. To recover the files, the best option you have to use the existing backups.

If this option is not available, once check if Shadow Copies exist. These automatically created backups are sometimes left untouched during the entire process of system attack and files encryption. Thus, they ultimately become files recovery option for the users.

The Rozbeh Ransomware might delete this Shadow Copies by running certain command. In this case, you have to look for various third party data recovery tools that claim to provide access to all damaged, altered, missing, and corrupted and virus infected files.

How did Rozbeh Ransomware enter my system?

Most ransomware variants are distributed through Trojans, emails, unreliable sources for downloading software, fake software updaters or cracking tools. Emails used to deliver malware contain attachments or links. The main purpose of such emails is to trick people into executing malicious files.

Unreliable sources for downloading files such as p2p networks, third party downloaders can be used to distribute malicious files usually, by disguising them as legit, regular files. Users infect their systems by opening them.

Fake software updaters infect systems by injecting malware instead of updating, fixing software or exploiting bugs, flaws of outdated software. Software cracking tools infect systems when they are bundled with malware/ contain hidden malware. These are allegedly used to bypass activation keys of paid software.
