Cybercriminals did not need to put in any effort when creating Qlkm Ransomware because it is a clone of literally hundreds of other infections. A few of them include Jdyi Ransomware, Vvoa Ransomware, Vpsh Ransomware, and Agho Ransomware. STOP Ransomware appears to be the predecessor of this family, and that is why scanners and malware removal tools identify different variants as STOP malware. So, how can we separate the different variants? It is actually very simple. If malware from this family has invaded your system, your personal files must have been encrypted, and if they have, you should find an additional extension appended to their names. If you have to remove Qlkm Ransomware from your Windows system, you should find the “.qlkm” extension attached to the corrupted files’ names. There is nothing else to say about this extension, and note that your files will not be restored if you delete it. Unfortunately, they will not be restored if you remove Qlkm Ransomware either.

Unfortunately, ransomware infections are very lucrative, and that is why we report new variants nearly every single day. Sadly, you cannot recover files by deleting YAYA Ransomware, but note that this malware must be eliminated as soon as possible. Read more »
