Enjey Crypter Ransomware Removal Guide

Your personal files are at risk if the malicious Enjey Crypter Ransomware has managed to enter your operating system. This infection is very stealthy, and even its infiltration is clandestine. According to our researchers, it is most likely to infect your operating system if you open a corrupted spam email attachment. As soon as you do that, the threat encrypts your personal files that might include photos, media files, archives, and documents. It is not yet known which encryption method this threat employs, but it looks like tools that would be capable of decrypting your files do not exist. In some cases, legitimate file decryptors are able to help; however, this is unlikely to be the case now. Deleting Enjey Crypter Ransomware does not help much either because once your files are encrypted, only a special decryption key or tool can help. Regardless, removing this threat is exceptionally important, and the sooner you do that, the better. As you can see, we have a manual removal guide prepared, but you should read the article first to learn about this dangerous threat.

Has Enjey Crypter Ransomware encrypted your personal files? That is not difficult to find out because this threat replaces the original file’s extension with “.encrypted.contact_here_me@india.com.enjey”. In most cases, ransomware infections using the @india.com email domain are associated with the Hidden-Tear/Crysis family, to which Redants Ransomware, Fabsyscrypto Ransomware, and many other infections belong to. All in all, we do not have enough information to say that Enjey Crypter Ransomware definitely belongs to this group. What we know for sure is that this threat is dangerous because it is capable of encrypting your personal files. If you do not notice the strange extension attached to your files, you might find out about the ransomware via its ransom note file called “README_DECRYPT.txt”. This file should be created on the Desktop, but it could be copied to different folders all over your operating system. We do not recommend removing this file unless you copy the information represented via it. If you do not copy this information, you might lose your chance of communicating with the creator of the ransomware.

The email address that the creator of Enjey Crypter Ransomware uses is “contact_here_me@india.com”. The creator wants you to use this email address for communication. If you choose to establish communication and identify yourself (you are asked to reveal your ID that is represented via the TXT file), we advise creating a new email address for yourself. Why? Cyber criminals exploit every opportunity they get, and if you disclose your regular email address, they could easily record it and use it in the future. As we have discussed already, Enjey Crypter Ransomware is most likely to spread via spam emails, which proves that that cyber criminals can exploit this security backdoor. Overall, you should contact cyber criminals only if you are willing to pay the ransom, which, by the way, is an incredibly risky move. If you do not want to pay any money or if you do not need that because your files are backed up, the only thing you should worry about is removing the ransomware.

As you can see, the manual removal of Enjey Crypter Ransomware is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is delete the malicious launcher file. If you have opened it yourself, you should know where to find it. Unfortunately, we cannot say what the name or the location of the .exe file might be. If you are having issues identifying and erasing malware, manual removal is not an option for you. Do not worry about that because, ultimately, using anti-malware software is the best option for everyone. For one, it can find and erase all malicious components – and it is possible that other silent threats are active on your PC – at the same time. Second, anti-malware software is primarily designed to defend your operating system against invading malware. As long as you keep it installed, dangerous infections will not be able to slither in again.
