Remove Aeur Ransomware
The STOP/Djvu Ransomware family continues to be very active in 2021. This project has been around for over two years and, unfortunately, it has been used to craft over a hundred dangerous file-encryption Trojans. The Aeur Ransomware is just the latest name to join the ranks of previous STOP variants. Unfortunately, there is no free decryption option when talking about Aeur Ransomware's attack. The file-locker uses an excellent algorithm to encrypt data, and then send the encryption key to the server of the attacker. This piece of information can be used to reverse the encryption, but the criminals are not giving it away for free. They ask their victims to pay a ransom fee, which is usually $490 – however, they threaten to double it if the victim does not pay soon.
But how does this malware reach you? This may happen when you decide to download a pirated application or game. In other cases, the criminals might try to convince you to download a dangerous email attachment. It is not uncommon for malware to also be distributed through low-quality ads and fake downloads.
If the Aeur Ransomware is on your system, you will be unable to access your important documents, pictures, videos, archives, projects, and other files. The inaccessible files will be easy to recognize because of the '.aeur' extension that the ransomware uses to mark their name. You will also find the ransom document '_readme.txt' on the desktop, or in folders containing encrypted files.
According to the message of the attackers, the decryptor is available for $490. They threaten to double the amount if the fee is not paid in 72 hours. They use the emails manager@mailtemp.ch and managerhelper@airmail.cc to get in touch with their victims. You should not consider their offer, because it would be easy for them to scam you. Instead, run an anti-malware tool to eliminate the threat. After this, try out popular data recovery software and methods.
