What is Embrace Ransomware?
When Embrace Ransomware invades the Windows operating system, it silently downloads an encryption key and then uses it to corrupt existing personal files. The infection is unlikely to affect system files, but it is likely to go after your documents, videos, photos, archives, and other sensitive data. We really hope that you have this data backed up; otherwise, it is most likely that it is lost irreversibly. If you used an internal backup, it is possible that it was corrupted by the ransomware as well. Without a doubt, it is safest to use cloud storage or external drives; or, better yet, a combination of both to guarantee that your files are safe. Remember that malware is not the only thing that could affect your files. Also, if you use cloud storage, you have the ability to access your personal files from any device wherever you are. Needless to say, if backups exist, there should be nothing else stopping you from deleting Embrace Ransomware.

How does Embrace Ransomware work?
Embrace Ransomware can be dropped onto your computer using vulnerable Remote Desktop Connection (RDC). If cyber criminals have access to your operating system, they can drop any malicious infection without you suspecting it. The ransomware could also be installed onto your computer with the assistance of other infections, and you might be tricked into executing it yourself. Even if you are convinced that other threats do not exist on your computer, you want to install a trusted malware scanner to examine it. In the best case scenario, no threats will be found. However, if malware is discovered, you need to remove it as soon as possible. When it comes to the removal of Embrace Ransomware, it would be ideal if you managed to uncover and delete it before the encryption of data is initiated. Of course, if you do not notice this malware, it is likely to corrupt all personal data successfully. Most users will realize that this malware exists only as they discover the “.[embrace@airmail.cc].embrace” extension attached to the names of their personal files, or when they open the file named “!=How_recovery_files=!.txt.”
Copies of the “!=How_recovery_files=!.txt” file should be placed everywhere, and this is meant to ensure that you communicate with the creators of Embrace Ransomware as soon as possible. According to the message, you can do it by emailing embrace@airmail.cc. This email address is very similar to the one used by Everbe Ransomware (everbe@airmail.cc), and it is possible that these infections were created by the same malicious cyber criminals. Although the message does not mention the ransom or its sum, the last sentence declares that the “price” would double in 7 days. Clearly, just like Scarab-Horsuke Ransomware, Gandcrab 3 Ransomware, Sigrun Ransomware, and most other file-encryptors, Embrace Ransomware will demand a ransom if you email them. Should you even consider this option? If the ransom is not too big, you might be willing to take the risk, but keep in mind that you are more likely than not to waste money for no reason at all. Obviously, if the ransom is huge, your only option might be to remove Embrace Ransomware.
How to delete Embrace Ransomware
You must need no convincing when it comes to the removal of Embrace Ransomware. There is no doubt that this infection is malicious and that it is best to erase it from the operating system as soon as possible. Can you do it manually? You might be able to, but only if you can remove Embrace Ransomware’s launcher file. Where is it? We cannot tell you this because that depends on how the threat invaded your system. Also, the name could be random too. If you are unable to identify the threat, installing anti-malware software is the way to go. Install it, and you will have all malicious infections eliminated from your operating system automatically. Furthermore, it will protect your system, and you want this if you do not want to face malware in the future. Whichever path you choose, you have to make sure that your system is cleaned from malware and protected against it in the future.
