Anubis Ransomware Removal Guide

There are many reasons you should refrain from opening spam email messages, and Anubis Ransomware is one of them. This program is an extremely dangerous security issue that literally bars you from opening your files. Unfortunately, there may be no way to restore your files unless you have healthy copies saved someplace else, but that does not mean you should throw your computer away. You can remove Anubis Ransomware from your system, and then look for other potential threats that might be hiding in it. To locate all the potential threats, do not hesitate to acquire a licensed antispyware tool that will take care of your security issues for you.

This program is based on the EDA2 open source ransomware, and the infection enters your computer when you expect it the least. There is a reason computer security experts maintain you should never open attachments from unfamiliar senders. After all, if you do, you could get infected with such ransomware programs that would seriously jeopardize your system’s security, at the same time denying your file access. And it is not like these programs remain idle once their payload is unleashed. For example, Anubis Ransomware communicates with its command and control (C&C) server via 190.14.37.177 to create the encryption key, to store it, and then to download the ransom image.

This ransom image will be set as your desktop’s wallpaper once all of your files have been encrypted. The wallpaper will contain an image of the ancient Egyptian god Anubis, and there will be a message that reads:

HELLO
Time is the most valuable thing you can have.
At the moment all files on the computer encrypted.
Do you want to understand how to get your data and save time,
whrite to this address:
support.code@aol.com
If you do not receive responses within 48 hours, write to:
support.code@india.com

It is hard to say what is more appalling, the encryption itself or the spelling mistakes in the message, but the bottom line is that this is something you cannot, and you should not tolerate. For starters, you should not even consider contacting the criminals via the given email address. It would not solve your problem. If anything, you would only get more demands, along with the sum you supposedly need to pay to retrieve a decryption key. Instead, you should look for a way to get out of this situation.

As you can perfectly see, almost all of your files have been encrypted. The program usually targets media and .exe files, although it will not encrypt important system files and your browsers. If you had a security application installed on your PC before this infection occurred, you will have to download the security program of your choice once again, because Anubis Ransomware will have encrypted its executable file, too. All the files affected by this ransomware program will have the .coded extension added to it, and, although there is no way to decrypt your files for free, you can change the affected files with healthy files as long as you have a system backup.

Please remember that you should transfer the copies of your files to your PC only when the infection is gone. Also, when you remove Anubis Ransomware, please scan your system with a legitimate antispyware tool because you need to check whether there are more threats on-board. In other words, do all you can to keep your data safe.
