Now Delete Ransomware Residuals from Windows Computers with RansomNoteCleaner Tool


A tool called RansomNoteCleaner, which comes for free, eliminates ransomware notes along with any residual junk on Windows-PCs once the malicious software is cleansed off from the system.

It requires special mention that RansomNoteCleaner isn't any product that removes ransomware. The tool actually functions once locked files are decrypted as well as the ransomware is removed. Ransom notes, which during an attack, might've been saved on the hard disk in the form of HTML files else any other can be deleted with the RansomNoteCleaner. Essentially, the tool assists in wrapping up the cleansing activity following recovery from ransom software assaults.

The portable tool works like this: it needs to be first downloaded and then executed. Subsequently it'll connect with a website called ID Ransomware which assists people recognize the ransomware hitting their computers.

The later period ransomware variants would leave their ransom messages within virtually all folders and directories whose files they encrypted. Suppose the data encrypted belonged to 10,000 folders while the just mentioned ransomware variants left their ransom notes crafted as HTML or text messages then the victimized user would be richer by 200,000 useless documents. Softpedia.com posted this, July 5, 2016.

If manual method is used to remove the 200,000 files then it's perhaps similarly irritating and unfeasible like attempting at cracking the encryption algorithm of the ransomware with paper and pen.

So end-users who may successfully identify the ransomware sample they're tainted with can quickly proceed to hit the "Select Ransomware(s)"option while obtain the actual numbers of the ransom message documents that RansomNoteCleaner will search.

Moreover, end-users can highlight their PCs' folders and hard drives, the places for the tool to hunt down the ransom messages by clicking on "Search for Ransom Notes" option.

Thus, after all identifications are done, the "Clean" option should be clicked. Simultaneously a log can be found which helps ensure no wrong files are identified and erased, although this' extremely improbable.

Essentially what RansomNoteCleaner does and does not do are eliminating the ransom messages, and decrypting files that ransom software encrypted or delete ransomware payloads, respectively. For these, decrypters and anti-malware software respectively would do the jobs.
