Unlock92 Ransomware Removal Guide

If you live in a country where Russian is the main spoken language, Unlock92 Ransomware might be a problem for you. This threat is very inconspicuous when entering your operating system, and it can perform malicious activity without your notice. According to our analysis, this threat is most likely to be launched from a file that comes attached to a spam email. In order to trick you into opening the malicious file, the developer of the ransomware might represent it using camouflage. For example, the launcher might look like a harmless PDF representing an invoice. Once executed, the ransomware silently creates an encryption key and encrypts your personal files (e.g., .pdf, .ppt, .doc, .rar, .zip, or .jpg) using the RSA-2048 algorithm. The decryption key is created as well, but it is most likely to be sent to a remote server to make it inaccessible for you. Needless to say, deleting Unlock92 Ransomware is not a solution in this case, despite the fact that removing this threat is very important.

Unlock92 Ransomware was created by the same people who have unleashed the KozyJozy Ransomware. Unfortunately, it is most likely that the developers of this malware know what they are doing, and they can successfully encrypt all of your personal files. Our researchers have also found that the ransomware can delete Shadow copies of your files using vssadmin.exe. Due to this, you will not be able to circumvent the encryption even if you have set up a restore point. According to our analysis, some versions of this malicious threat can be disabled with the help of third-party file decryption software. For example, one of the versions of Unlock92 Ransomware attaches the “.CRRRT” extension to the infected files. If this is the version you are dealing with, you should definitely look into third-party decryption software. Other versions of this threat attach “.blocked” and “.CCCRRRPPP” extensions, and these are the versions that might be more challenging. Of course, you should look into using third-party decryption tools anyway. Just make sure that you do not download malware that is camouflaged as authentic software.

Was the wallpaper of your Desktop modified upon the entrance of Unlock92 Ransomware? This malware might change the wallpaper, but, again, it depends on the version of this threat. The email represented via this wallpaper might be different as well, but it is most likely that it will be Unlock92@india.com. This email address will also be represented via a TXT file urging you to send one infected file and the keyvalue.bin file (also might be key.bin). The name of the TXT file is likely to be completely random, but it should not be difficult for you to spot it. In fact, this .txt file is likely to be copied to every folder with corrupted files. The keyvalue.bin folder holds your private key, and cyber criminals will use it to identify you. It is a good sign that cyber criminals are trying to identify you because this suggests that they are able to decrypt your personal files if you choose to pay the ransom, which you will be introduced to when you get a response from cyber criminals. Regardless, because the decryption of your files is not guaranteed, we do not recommend paying the ransom.

As you can see by looking at the manual removal guide, removing Unlock92 Ransomware manually is not at all complicated. The thing is that nothing will change if you delete this threat, and so its creators did not need to waste their energy on making the ransomware difficult to eliminate. Obviously, if you have managed to decrypt your files using a third-party tool, or if you have your files backed up, you can delete Unlock92 Ransomware without further hesitation. If you do not find a way out, and if you do not want to take the risk involved in paying the ransom, you need to get rid of this ransomware anyway. Whatever your situation is, you have to clean your operating system and protect it against the attacks of other threats. Due to this, we advise implementing anti-malware software. If you listen to our advice and install this software, you do not need to waste time with manual removal.
