How to remove DESKRYPTEDN81 (Virus Removal Guide)

DESKRYPTEDN81

The DESKRYPTEDN81 virus is a term used to describe very dangerous ransomware that mostly affects computers in Europe and the United States. The DESKRYPTEDN81 virus runs and generates a unique public RSA-2048 key and a private RSA key, downloads a DESKRYPTEDN81.txt file, and encrypts computer files that match the .xls, .doc, .pdf, .rtf, .psd, .dwg, .cdr, .cd, .mdb, .1cd, .dbf, .sqlite, .jpg, and .zip file extension.

The DESKRYPTEDN81 virus takes control of an infected computer system and encrypts personal files. It restricts access to a computer system and will leave a message on the infected computer’s desktop, open a webpage with a message, or leave a text file (DESKRYPTEDN81.txt) demanding the computer owner pay a ransom or purchase ransomware decryption software using Bitcoins or another online credit system such as Ukash or MoneyPak.

The alert message displayed by DESKRYPTEDN81 ransomware might say “Your files have been safely encrypted on this PC: photos, videos, documents, etc. Click “Show encrypted files” Button to view a complete list of encrypted files and you can personally verify this.” The message will be delivered in a new window, webpage, or text file.

Victims of the virus who pay the fine and follow the instructions on the message might be able to restore their personal files and remove the ransomware, but it is not suggested to do so. Instead, malware analysts suggest to first use various procedures and third-party computer security software to remove the DESKRYPTEDN81 virus and similar ransomware. Paying the ransom may actually cause further issues for some computer users.
