Sepsis Ransomware Removal Guide

Sepsis Ransomware is a dangerous computer infection that can block you from accessing your personal files. This program will use an encryption algorithm to scramble the data in your files and make them unreadable. It will tell you that you can restore your files if you pay a ransom fee, but computer security experts are strongly against this. Instead of doing what these criminals ask of you, you need to remove Sepsis Ransomware from your computer. You can find the manual removal instructions below this description. For other questions, please do not hesitate to leave us a comment.

Perhaps the most frustrating part of this infection is the fact that users tend to install this program on their computers themselves. Of course, they do not know that they launch the malicious infection. For instance, if the installer file comes with spam email, users may think that they open some important attachment file that should inform them about their latest shopping invoices, various shipping fees or even their financial reports. However, you should be vigilant enough to recognize spam email messages among the regular ones. After all, the best way to fight this infection is to bar it from entering your PC.

Of course, spam email attachments are not the only medium that can be used to promote and distribute Sepsis Ransomware. The infection might also arrive through corrupted Remote Desktop Protocol connection. This type of distribution method might be especially dangerous if you have several computers connected to the same network. Hence, if one computer on the network gets infected with Sepsis Ransomware, it is the very likely that the infection will spread to other computers as well. And if that is a business computer network we’re talking about here, then you could lose all of your important files quite fast.

The behavior of this infection is no different from other ransomware programs. Once it has been installed on the target system, it will encrypt all the personal files using a complicated encryption algorithm. You will know immediately which files were affected by the encryption because Sepsis Ransomware adds an additional appendix to all filenames. For example, Fake_Love.mp3 would change into Fake_Love.mp3.[Sepsis@protonmail.com].SEPSIS after the encryption. Of course, knowing which files were affected does not help much as Sepsis Ransomware expects you to contact via the given email so you could transfer the ransom fee.

Computer security experts strongly discourage users and corporations from paying the ransom fee, as it would only help cyber criminals achieve their goals. If you have most of your files saved on an external hard drive, you can simply remove Sepsis Ransomware from your system, delete the encrypted files, and then copy the healthy copies and paste them back into your hard drive.

There is also a chance that you may have to forgo the efforts to restore your files, especially if a public decryption tool is not available. However, before you do that, you should seriously address a professional who would have experience in the field. Finally, you should also consider acquiring a security application to safeguard your PC from various infections. Not to mention that saving copies of your files in an external hard drive would be a good idea, too.
