Wannacry666 Ransomware Removal Guide

Wannacry666 Ransomware is a rather generic infection that invades computer systems, encrypts personal files, and holds them hostage until the victim pays the ransom fee. Users often don’t notice how such programs enter their computers, but it is often possible to avoid getting infected with malware if users are careful about the content they interact with. If you were infected, you obviously need to remove Wannacry666 Ransomware WITHOUT paying the ransom, and then look for ways to protect your files from similar infections in the future because that’s clearly not the end of it.

The best way to avoid Wannacry666 Ransomware and other similar ransomware infections by being careful about the emails you receive. It is very often that ransomware comes with phishing and spam emails as file attachments. The attachments might look like MS Office or PDF format documents that require your immediate attention. Of course, that is not the case, and these formats are used to make it look like you need to check out these important documents. However, if the email reaches you unexpectedly or if you don’t recognize the sender, it would probably be for the best to delete the email at once.

In some cases, users might say that they deal with lots of attached files every single day, and it might be hard to discern regular documents from ransomware installation. If so, you can employ a licensed antispyware scanner to scan the received files. If the files are deemed to be safe by the scanner, you can proceed to open them. If not, you will have dodged a dangerous ransomware infection.

Unfortunately, the majority of users who do not double-check the received files end up getting infected with Wannacry666 Ransomware. Then, this malicious program encrypts their files and displays the following ransom note:

You became victim of the NOTEMANNACRY RANSOMWARE!

The files of your computer have been encrypted with an military grade encryption algorithm. There is no way to restore your data without a special key. You can purchase this key on the darknet page shown in step 2.

The note only gives you the instructions how to access the site that processes ransom payments. But it doesn’t say how much you are expected to pay for the decryption key. Therefore, the crooks behind this infection could easily call for any sum they want, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the ransom payment differed for every single victim.

It is a vile practice that pushes innocent users into a corner, and they often feel forced to purchase the decryption key, as there is no way to restore their files otherwise (or so they think). Of course, if you have a file backup, you can just remove Wannacry666 Ransomware along with the encrypted files, and then transfer the healthy copies back into your computer. Of course, we understand that not everyone has such privilege, but no mater what you do, this situation shouldn’t push you into giving away your money to these criminals.

It is rather easy to remove Wannacry666 Ransomware manually, and you can do that by following the instructions below. There should be no additional files dropped by this infection, but if you want to make sure, scan the system with the SpyHunter free scanner. After the scan, you will be able to remove the remaining malicious files automatically.

Finally, if you need help restoring your files, do not hesitate to address a local professional. There’s also the chance that you might have to start building your file library anew, but that shouldn’t discourage you from fighting the infection. Just make sure that the likes of Wannacry666 Ransomware do not enter your system again.
