What is v315 Ransomware?
Do you think that v315 Ransomware is just a ridiculous little infection that was created by an amateur cybercriminal? Well, if this malware slithered into your Windows operating system and encrypted your personal files, your demeanor would quickly change. Even if this malware were to be controlled by a complete amateur, there is no doubt that it can do great damage to one’s files. The encryptor that the cybercriminals behind this malware are using is lethal, and once files are encrypted, there is nothing you can do to restore them back. Unfortunately, this lends a hand to the attackers because they can be more successful at extorting money. If you keep reading our report, you will learn how the malicious infection spreads and what it was created for. You will also learn how to delete v315 Ransomware from your Windows operating system and how to keep it safe against other threats in the future.
How does v315 Ransomware work?
Was v315 Ransomware executed after you opened a file attached to a spam email message? If that is the case, you need to report the sender because that might help protect other people against this devious malware. If you executed the infection by launching an attractive downloader found on some random website, we suggest that you find a better and more secure way to download files and programs in the future. The Anti-Spyware-101.com research team warns that cybercriminals know many tricks that can help them execute malware, and, in most cases, victims are pushed into executing it themselves. Sadly, once v315 Ransomware is executed, it immediately encrypts your personal files, after which you should find the “.v315” extension appended to their names. Do not bother deleting this extension, and do not go straight to your backups to replace the encrypted files. You want to remove the infection first.
Unfortunately, we doubt that all victims of v315 Ransomware will have backups of the encrypted files. If you have not stored copies of your photos and documents online, on external drives, or on other devices, you must feel stuck. That is what the attackers want. Once files are encrypted, a window is launched to introduce a ransom demand. According to the message, you can get all files encrypted as soon as you pay $70 worth of Bitcoin to the attackers’ Bitcoin Wallet (1Hd3tU8MDmuVotMgGJTJ7svzvPey6bfUgm). Do we need to explain why paying the ransom is too risky? Once you give your money, you will not be able to get it back. Also, the attackers will not give you anything in return. But they promise a decryptor, right? Well, a promise made by cybercriminals is worth nothing. Unfortunately, the invasion of this ransomware might be an extremely painful lesson on how vulnerable your system and your files truly are.
How to delete v315 Ransomware
Even if you have backups and you have an idea as to how to remove v315 Ransomware, you might still worry about your actions. After all, the ransom note claims that your encrypted files will be removed if you do not pay the ransom or if you attempt to delete v315 Ransomware. These are just intimidation tactics that cybercriminals are using to delay the removal of the infection. Unfortunately, if you do not have backups, your files might have been lost forever. If you want to, you can place them aside (for example, in one folder), and perhaps a free decryptor will emerge in the future. For now, the only thing you can do to salvage your files is to replace them with backup copies.
If you, your friends, or your colleagues do not have copies of your files, take this as a life lesson. You always want to store copies of the most important files. And you also want to have your system secured 24/7. How do you do that? We suggest implementing anti-malware software. It also can automatically delete the ransomware. If you prefer to delete the infection manually, we hope that the guide below will assist you.
