Ninja Ransomware Removal Guide

If your desktop background suddenly changes into a Russian message with an e-mail address, ninja.gaiver@aol.com, in the middle, we have bad news: You have been attacked by Ninja Ransomware. This is a severe Trojan infection that can cause a lot of damage to the content of your computer by encrypting your files. If your system is infected with this malware, you cannot hesitate. You must act right away and remove Ninja Ransomware immediately. Although that may not be easy, we do have a solution for you. But before we share it with you, we would like to go into details about this Trojan so that you learn how you can defend yourself against this serious infection.

Obviously, you will not actually know that you have been infected with a Trojan until it reveals itself. That is the main goal behind Trojans, i.e., to be silent and invisible so that you do not know it is there. Ninja Ransomware is only different and makes itself visible since it is a ransomware program that, of course, at one point, has to be seen. But by the time you realize that your computer is threatened by this Trojan, it is already too late to act. That is the moment when a lot of computer users smack their foreheads and say, “Why on earth have I not made a backup disk on an external drive?” Or have you? In that case, you are lucky and saved from the nightmare of losing all your major files, including .txt, .jpg, and .mp3 extensions, which usually get encrypted once this Trojan activates itself. The encrypted files’ names will start with “email-ninja.gaiver@aol.com.ver-“ and they get a .cbf file extension.

When the job is done, it is time for Ninja Ransomware to scare you with the note it shows by changing your desktop background. Of course, most users would get scared by this and they would be ready to pay to get their “beloved” files back. But we must warn you that you can never be sure that the schemers behind this threat will actually decrypt all your files. Once you pay the ransom, why would they bother? Do you think they are afraid that you would send them an e-mail threatening them to decrypt your files, or else? Or else what? The truth is these people could not care less about your computer and files; they mostly care about easy money. If you do not have a backup of your documents, photos, and other files, it is most likely that you will never see them again.

There are two ways that this Trojan most likely uses to infect unsuspecting users’ computers. Most commonly it can be found as an e-mail attachment. A lot of people do not even check the sender or the content of the e-mail first, and they open the attachment like it was compulsory – and that is the moment and point of no return. You will not even know, but Ninja Ransomware drops onto your computer like a ninja, as silently as a cat; and it will start its war on your files right away. The other option for this Trojan to be delivered is via freeware bundles packed with other malware infections. If you are so unlucky as to have this version, you will soon have more system security issues that you can handle yourself. After you delete Ninja Ransomware, we suggest that you also take care of every other related infection.

Trojans are not famous for being easy to remove, and that is true for Ninja Ransomware as well. Since it would be too difficult to identify the files that need to be eliminated, instead, we offer you an effective automated solution. But in order to be able to strike against this dangerous Trojan, you need to restart your computer in Safe Mode. Please follow our instructions below carefully, step by step, so that you can restore the safety of your computer. Keep in mind that even after protecting your system with antimalware software, your encrypted files will not be available for you to use.
