Simple process to delete Rubly Ransomware & retrieve files

According to security researchers, Rubly Ransomware is malware that will encode your files using powerful encryption algorithm. This file virus is able to infect all types of files including images, audios, videos, pictures, databases, backups and other important files available on victim’s desktop. However, it renames every encrypted file by appending “.rubly” file extension. Therefore, users are unable to access even single files to their previous states. Once the encryption process is finished, it displays a ransom note in a pop-up window.

The ransom demanding note generates by almost all viruses of this family is same and the Rubly Ransomware is not the exception. The delivered text message informs the user about the ransomware attack and states that recovery requires decryption tool. This tool can only be purchased by paying $100 via the provided website link. Users are informed that if they don’t pay money within 1 hour then they will lose one file. After two hours they will lose more files.

Thus, the number of deleted files will grow exponentially. This can only be avoided by removing Rubly Ransomware from the system. Nevertheless, you should never pay the ransom fee to the evil people behind the ransomware. They blackmail their victims once the payment is done. Unfortunately, there are no any tools available that can provide the encrypted files for free. The only possible solution for the data recovery is to use a backup (if one has created earlier before attack) to restore the data.

Text in the ransom note:

Your personal files are completely encrypted
But, don’t worry! I haven’t deleted your files yet.
However there is no decryptor in the internet.

After one hour I select one of your files and delete them.
