Were you tricked into executing the launcher of Karlosdecrypt@outlook.com Ransomware by opening a malicious file (most likely sent with spam) or by executing an unreliable downloader? If you were, all of your personal files are at risk. If you figure out what has happened right away, you might be able to remove the launcher before any real damage is done, but since the threat is extremely quick and stealthy, you are unlikely to notice anything. Once files are encrypted, their data is changed, and it is not possible to read them anymore. What can be done to rectify the situation? A decryption key must be obtained, but we cannot provide you with it, and even the cyber criminals who are promising to give it to you for a certain price might be unable to. As a matter of fact, most victims of ransomware never get their files back, regardless of the steps they take to solve the issue. Although your hands might be tied when it comes to decryption, you certainly can delete Karlosdecrypt@outlook.com Ransomware, and we are here to help you along the way.

Did you notice the ".id-[random].[karlosdecrypt@outlook.com].KARLS" extension appended to your personal files? If you have, there is no doubt that Karlosdecrypt@outlook.com Ransomware got in and encrypted your personal files. This extension signifies the existence of Crysis/Dharma ransomware, which is a family of file-encryptors that appear to have been built using the same source code. They all work the same, and the extensions they add to the corrupted files always represent email addresses of the attackers and the unique IDs that are created for every victim. All is clarified using a ransom note represented via the 'karlosdecrypt@outlook.com' window. It shows up right after the encryption is complete, and it informs that a security problem caused the attack on the personal files. The ransom message is meant to convince you that if you email your ID to karlosdecrypt@outlook.com, and then pay Bitcoin (all in 24 hours), you should be able to obtain a decryptor. Do NOT trust cyber attackers. Most likely, the only thing you can do is remove Karlosdecrypt@outlook.com Ransomware.

The extensive ransom note displayed via Karlosdecrypt@outlook.com Ransomware window is not the only tool used by the criminal. They also use a file named "FILES ENCRYPTED.txt" (delete it from the Desktop and the %HOMEDRIVE% directory) to inform that data was “locked,” and that you need to email the attackers behind the infection. The unique thing about this message is that it presents a second email address (karlosdecrypt@outlook.com AND karlosdecrypt24@airmail.cc). You might see no harm in contacting the attackers, but keep in mind that they could record your email address to send scam emails or even emails with malware launchers in the future. So, if you want to see what these attackers can offer you, at least use a new address that you will not use again. When it comes to the ransom, it is your choice to pay it or not pay it. If the sum is large, and you are not swimming in money, think very carefully if you want to take the risk. Most likely, the decryptor will not be handed to you.

Are you intimidated by the manual Karlosdecrypt@outlook.com Ransomware removal guide below? It can look quite scary, especially if you are inexperienced, but our malware experts assure that you should be able to delete the threat successfully if you are careful and take things slow.
