If you take good care of your operating system, it is unlikely that you will face MZP Ransomware. However, if you aren’t cautious about the files you open or download, you yourself could invite this malware in. Our malware experts warn that ransomware is usually spread via unreliable downloaders or spam emails and can be executed by exploiting unpatched system and software vulnerabilities. So, do you remember the last time you installed security updates? When was the last time you opened a strange spam email attachment? You might be unable to answer these questions, but if the ransomware has slithered in, you need to take a good look at your virtual security. Right now, let’s focus on deleting MZP Ransomware because this dangerous infection has encrypted your documents, photos, and other precious personal files. Note that your files, unfortunately, will not be decrypted once you have this malware removed.

Are you aware of the fact that there are hundreds of file-encrypting ransomware infections? Some of them include Gesd Ransomware, Ponce.lorena@aol.com Ransomware, MarioLocker Ransomware, and Odveta Ransomware. All of these infections have unique traits, yet all of them work the same. First, they attack vulnerable operating systems. Different attack strategies could be employed for that. Once inside the targeted system, this malware jumps to encrypting files. MZP Ransomware encrypts personal files, and it also attaches a random extension to their names. Additional extensions are added by most ransomware threats, but they are usually predictable. For example, the mentioned Gesd Ransomware always adds “.gesd” as an extension. MZP Ransomware, on the other hand, generates a unique extension for every victim. Of course, regardless of the extension, the file that has it cannot be read, and that is what makes the message represented via “HOW TO RESTORE ENCRYPTED FILES.TXT” more important. Copies of this file should be created in every single folder and location affected by the threat.

The file that MZP Ransomware creates carries this message: “If you want to return your [extension] files, contact us and we will send you a decryptor and a unique decryption key.” Of course, you want your files to be readable again, and so you might see no harm in emailing recover_24_7@protonmail.com to obtain the decryptor. Well, by sending the message, you could be exposing yourself to new threats. Also, do not expect the decryptor to be sent to you. The attackers will demand money to be paid in return for it, and even if you obey, there are no guarantees that you will get your hands on it. Unfortunately, a free decryptor that would restore files affected by MZP Ransomware did not exist at the time of research. Does that mean that you have no other option but to take the risk of paying the ransom? We do not recommend taking such a risk, but perhaps you do not even need to think about that because backups exist. Have you created copies of your personal files in the past? If these copies are stored outside the infected computer, you have nothing to worry about. Focus on removing MZP Ransomware first.

We cannot know where the launcher of MZP Ransomware has landed on your operating system. We also do not know the name of the malicious file. What we do know is that you need to find this file if you wish to delete the malicious infection manually. Speaking of removal options, you do not need to find and erase this ransomware yourself. Instead, you can employ an automated anti-malware program to do it for you. We strongly recommend using such a program because its primary task is to ensure protection against all kinds of infections. Needless to say, if you wish to avoid file-encryptors and other kinds of malware in the future, this is the program you want to install. After you have MZP Ransomware removed, you can use backup copies of your personal files to replace the corrupted ones. If backups don’t exist, we do not recommend communicating with cybercriminals or paying the ransom, and if you choose to go with this solution, do so at your own risk.
