Troldesh Ransomware Removal Guide

If you find an intimidating TXT file on the Desktop with a message that is represented in both Russian and English, Troldesh Ransomware is an infection whose presence you need to consider. This malicious ransomware can attack your operating system without your notice, and our research team warns that its distribution could be performed in various ways. For example, the launcher of this threat could be camouflaged as a harmless document file attached to a misleading spam email. It could also be downloaded by a clandestine Trojan active on your PC. You could even download it bundled with seemingly harmless software. Whichever entrance is used, it is unlikely that you will notice this threat until it introduces itself to you. The ransomware firstly encrypts your files using a complicated algorithm to ensure that it has leverage when it approaches you. If you think that your files will get decrypted when you delete Troldesh Ransomware, you are wrong. Of course, you MUST remove this threat, but you need to free your files first.

Our research team also recognizes Troldesh Ransomware by the name “Shade Ransomware,” and this threat is shady for sure. Even the main .exe file of this threat might have a misleading name to stop you from removing it. In our case, the name was “csrss.exe”, and this file was located in a folder named “Windows.” It is strange that this ransomware is trying to conceal itself, considering that nothing can be fixed by eliminating it. Once this threat encrypts your photos, media files, or documents, the only way to restore them is by applying a decryption key, and this key is in the hands of cyber criminals. Even if you delete the “.xtbl” extension attached to the corrupted files, they will remain unreadable. This is when cyber criminals show up and reveal their goals. Your desktop image will be replaced with an image ordering you to open the readme.txt file, and this file pushes you to email one of the provided addresses (decode1110@gmail.com or decode010@gmail.com). If you do that, you will shortly get a response including additional instructions, and they will order you to pay a huge ransom payment.

Although the creators of Troldesh Ransomware have the key that you need to decrypt your personal files, you should consider decrypting your files in other ways. After all, paying the ransom is incredibly risky, since it is impossible to know whether or not cyber crooks would keep their word and provide you with the decryption key. Some users turn to legitimate decryptions tools, and you might be looking into using them also. If you are, make sure you install legitimate software, not fake and useless tools. You might also be able to retrieve your files from a backup. For example, if you have set up an online storage cloud and backed up all of your personal files, you are wasting your time trying to decrypt your files. Once you remove Troldesh Ransomware from your PC, you will need to eliminate the corrupted copies of your files to get rid of the junk. Of course, you should replace the junk with the healthy copies of your files only when you clean your operating system and protect it to ensure that malware cannot slither in again.

Our malware research team informs that removing Troldesh Ransomware is very important, and you should get rid of this threat as soon as you can. The manual removal instructions below are very easy to follow, and so we are sure that you can use them to eliminate this threat. Of course, this guide does not include the steps that you might need to take to eliminate the remaining infections or to protect your PC. However, if you download a reliable anti-malware tool, all of these problems will be taken care of for you.
