How did 5H311 1NJ3C706 Ransomware invade your operating system? That is one of the most important questions to address. At this moment, you might not care about the methods of invasion at all, given that the decryption of your files might be much more important. That being said, you need to be mindful about the causes of the problem just as much as you need to worry about the outcome. Our research team warns that ransomware can utilize various different methods to spread. Attachments sent via spam email could be set up. Malicious downloaders could be used to conceal the installer of 5H311 1NJ3C706 Ransomware. Illegally obtained remote access to the system could be employed too. Needless to say, if you do not secure your operating system after you remove the infection, the same security backdoors could be used to infiltrate other infections. In fact, are you 100% sure that other threats do not exist on your operating system already? When you delete the infection, do not forget to run a full system scan using a reliable malware scanner to check if your system is clean.

After execution, 5H311 1NJ3C706 Ransomware starts encrypting files right away. According to our research team, the infection only encrypts files on the Desktop, and the affected files can be spotted right away because of the “.5H311 1NJ3C706” extension appended at the end. Of course, it is unlikely that you would get a chance to assess the damage because 5H311 1NJ3C706 Ransomware is meant to launch a window that cannot be closed easily. It can be closed by terminating a malicious process, but you should not rush into that. Follow the instructions below instead. Of course, if you think you cannot close the window, you might start paying attention to the ransom message on the launched window. It informs that victims must pay a ransom of 300 Bitcoin. Most likely, this is a mistake, and the ransom is, in fact, 300 USD or EUR. At the time of research, 300 BTC was 1,560,861 USD. Who in their right mind would pay a ransom this big for a few files on the Desktop? Anyway, even if the ransom was 1 cent, we would not recommend paying it. Our experience allows us to state that paying a ransom is always a waste of money.

You want to remove 5H311 1NJ3C706 Ransomware, and you want to secure your operating system. Well, you can take care of both of these issues by installing anti-malware software.
