What is Nppp Ransomware?
Nppp Ransomware is a malicious computer infection. This program will enter your system surreptitiously, and it will not let you do anything unless you pay the ransom fee. All ransomware programs are there to rip their victims off by pushing them into purchasing file decryption tools. Sometimes, those tools don’t even work. Thus, you should refrain from paying anything to these criminals, and you have to focus on removing Nppp Ransomware from your computer. You can find the manual removal instructions below, but it is also strongly recommended to invest in a licensed antispyware tool.
Where does Nppp Ransomware come from?
Nppp Ransomware belongs to the STOP Ransomware family. It is a very big group of malware infections, and it seems to be growing all the time. We have previously discussed other programs from this group, too. For example, Lezp Ransomware, Mpaj Ransomware, Npsk Ransomware, and others are all programs from the same group. They are based on the same ransomware code, and all of them are really similar. They even share the same ransom note, so it doesn’t look like the people behind these infections do much to tweak every single release.
Likewise, all these programs employ the same distribution methods. Our research team believes that Nppp Ransomware travels via spam email attachments. It could also come via bundled downloads or corrupt RDP connections, but spam email attachments are the most common ransomware distribution vector.
At the same time, it also means that users download and launch the infection themselves. The spam emails that carry ransomware installer file convince users that the installer file is a legitimate document they have to open. It might look like an online shopping invoice or some other important document that you think you have to open immediately. However, whenever you receive an unexpected document from an unfamiliar sender, you have to stop and think whether you really should open that file. If think there’s no other way around it, you can at least scan the received file with a security tool. If the security tool of your choice detects something strange about the file, you can delete it no questions asked. And that’s how you will avoid ransomware infections.
What does Nppp Ransomware do?
On the other hand, if you failed to do that and Nppp Ransomware entered your system, it is very likely that your files have already been encrypted. When this program encrypts files, it changes the file extension too, by adding .nppp to the end of the filename. You might also say that it’s like a stamp that shows your files were affected by this particular ransomware infection.
Also, Nppp Ransomware drops a ransom note that urges you to contact the people behind this infection as soon as possible. It says that paying the ransom is your only way to restore your files:
ATTENTION!
<…>
All your files like photos, databases, documents and other important are encrypted with strongest encryption and unique key.
The only method of recovering files is to purchase decrypt tool and unique key for you.
This software will decrypt all your encrypted files.
Needless to say, you should NEVER pay anything to these criminals. The truth is that there is a public decryption tool developed by EmiSoft, and the tool is intended for the original STOP Ransomware infection. Since all the programs in this group are really similar, it is possible to use the public decryption tool and decrypt your files IF your files were encrypted using an OFFLINE encryption key. So please be aware that the public decryption key may not be the answer to all of your prayers.
How do I remove Nppp Ransomware?
Of course, the best way to restore your files is to tap into your personal file backup. You can remove Nppp Ransomware either manually or automatically, but when it’s over, you can delete the encrypted files, and then transfer the healthy copies back into your computer. That’s the ideal conclusion to this situation.
Unfortunately, not that many users can boast of an extensive file backup. Hence, you might have to address a local professional for other file recovery options. Just do everything it takes to remove Nppp Ransomware from your computer and get your files back.
