Gerkaman@aol.com Ransomware

Gerkaman@aol.com Ransomware

Gerkaman@aol.com Ransomware is an infection that enciphers your files on the computer and marks them with a specific extension, e.g. .id-A2112817.{Gerkaman@aol.com}.xtbl. The encrypted data can be both personal and program files. Since such data is locked, it cannot be opened and because of this some of the applications could crash, or you might be unable to launch them. If you want to be able to use the computer normally as soon as possible, we advise you to erase the threat first. Then reinstall all third-party software and recover enciphered data from flash drives or other storages where you might have saved it. As for the deletion part, we can offer manual removal instructions below the text. They will help eliminate Gerkaman@aol.com Ransomware, although if they seem to be too difficult, do not hesitate to use a reliable security tool. Read more »
