What is Save Ransomware?
Documents, photos, videos, and other files that cannot be replaced must have backups. If you have backups, Save Ransomware and other dangerous infections will not intimidate you. The goal for this malware is to slither in without notice, encrypt your files silently, and then demand money from you in return for a tool that might not even exist. Without a doubt, it is crucial that you secure your operating system right now because that is how you can avoid this malware. We advise implementing trustworthy security software to do the job. If it is too late to think about that right now, you want to focus on the removal of the malicious infection. While you might be more interested in decrypting your personal files at this moment, unfortunately, it does not look like you can restore your files, but you definitely can delete Save Ransomware. If you are in a hurry, scroll down to the last part of the article, but if you want to learn more about the infection, continue reading.
How does Save Ransomware act?
Save Ransomware is a clone of MGS Ransomware, Wal Ransomware, Zatrov Ransomware, and hundreds of other infections. The same attackers are unlikely to stand behind them, but the same source code was used to create them all. In most cases, spam emails and remote access vulnerabilities are exploited to spread this malware, and so if remote access is enabled – disable it, and if you are not careful about the emails you interact with – become more careful. That alone could decrease your chances of encountering malicious file-encrypting malware. Carefulness is not something you should put on the back burner right now either. If you are careless, you could be convinced that the attackers can offer you a legitimate solution. Of course, you might also decide to trust the attackers behind Save Ransomware out of sheer desperation because once files are encrypted, they cannot be decrypted manually, and tools that could do it did not exist at the time of research either. Legitimate decryptors do exist, but only on rare occasions do they work with ransomware and their complex encryption algorithms.
If you are careless and desperate, you might decide to email seavays@aol.com or ssseavaysss@aol.com. These are the email addresses that are introduced to the victims of Save Ransomware via the “RETURN FILES.txt” file. This file should have copies placed everywhere where encrypted files are. The message inside the file is not detailed, but it instructs you to send a message if you want to get your files back, and that might be enough to convince you. Of course, if you expose yourself to the attackers via email, they will push you to pay a ransom in return for a decryptor. The thing is that you are unlikely to obtain a decryptor even if you fulfill every single demand, and the files with the added “.id-{unique identifying code}.[seavays@aol.com].save” extension are unlikely to be decrypted. Therefore, we suggest that you think long and hard if you really want to communicate with the attackers behind Save Ransomware and then also pay a ransom, which, most likely, would be a waste of your money.
How to delete Save Ransomware
The ransom note file, the file that launches the infection’s window, the infection’s launcher, and an additional executable file are the components that you need to delete if you want to get rid of Save Ransomware successfully. As you can see, the guide below provides direction, but, unfortunately, it does not reveal the exact locations or names of all of these components because, in some cases, we cannot know this data.
