Remove Instalador ransomware & Recover Encrypted System Files

What should you know about Instalador ransomware?

 

Instalador ransomware is known as a file-encoder virus which is specifically programmed by the team of con artists with the main purpose of encrypting files stored on victim's machine. The malware uses AES cryptographic algorithm in order to encipher the targeted system files. Besides, in exchange for the decryption utility needed for file recovery, the hackers demand 0.05 Bitcoin which is approximately equal to $528 based on the current exchange rate from the victims of this vicious attack. Furthermore, the victimized computer users can easily identify the files encoded by Instalador ransomware, because it appends a specific file extension i.e. 'qwerty' onto every encrypted files after successful completion of file encryption procedure on compromised machine.

At the time of writing this article, the security researchers at RMV found that it has been especially designed to target the computer users located in Portugal or Portuguese speaking countries like Brazil as well. However, the Instalador ransomware virus is still under development phase. That's why, security analysts believe that it may spread its malicious payload all across the world in order to receive as much ransom money as possible by extorting innocent system users and demanding them to pay asked ransom money to get the decryption utility. Based on the latest investigation report, the malware runs on the affected Windows machine as an executable file identified as 'Instalador.exe'. Once it gets inside the targeted system, the threat opens a new window named 'Aguarde..' for the affected users.

What to do after Instalador ransomware attack?

At the time of appearing above-mentioned window on your PC screen, the Instalador ransomware starts encoding the specific file types in the computer's background with the help of sophisticated file encryption algorithm. Then after, it delivers a ransom note which demands ransom fee to provide the decryption key. Threat actors behind this ransomware also suggest victimized system users to contact them through Telegram known as an instant messaging application in order to get the complete details on ransom payment for file recovery.
