If you have been introduced to the ransom note by Widia Ransomware, do not rush to panic about your personal files because, in reality, they are not encrypted. The information represented via the ransom note is meant to trick you into disclosing your credit card information that cyber criminals could potentially use to impersonate you and make illegal transactions. Due to this, if you have disclosed credit card details, immediately call the bank to see what can be done to protect yourself. When it comes to the ransomware itself, the biggest issue you might be facing is its removal. The ransomware locks the screen, as well as disables Windows Explorer, Registry Editor, and Task Manager. Because of this, many users will face problems deleting Widia Ransomware. Even if you want to install software to eliminate this threat automatically, you might have to do something you have never done before, and manual removal, of course, is even more complicated.

A new extension .imsorry appended next to original extensions of your files indicates that Imsorry Ransomware has slithered onto your computer and done its job. That is, it has encrypted your pictures, documents, text files, music, and videos so that it could extract money from you. Since the only goal of this infection is to make users send money to its developer, do not be surprised that a window demanding a ransom is opened on your Desktop after the encryption of files. A new .txt file (Read me for help thanks.txt) is also dropped on the computer to inform you about the encryption of files and tell you what you can do to get their files back. Although you badly need to access your files, you should not send cyber criminals money because you might be left without anything. That is, you will lose not only your files (it is because it might still be impossible to unlock them after making a payment to cyber criminals), but also your money. What we expect you to do instead is to remove Imsorry Ransomware from the system the second you encounter it. It needs to be removed ASAP to disable it and make sure that it cannot encrypt any new files. Read more »
