Remove Kxde Ransomware
The Kxde Ransomware is a piece of malware designed to lock you out of your files. It does this by using a secure file-encryption mechanism, which targets all sorts of files. Of course, the ransomware is configured to maximize the damage it inflicts, and this is why its primary targets are documents, media, archives, backups, and other potentially valuable files. Once the Kxde Ransomware encrypts a file successfully, it adds the '.kxde' suffix to its original name.
We have determined the Kxde Ransomware to be a part of the STOP/Djvu family of file-lockers. Unfortunately, this is not good news. This malware family uses an impeccable file-locking routine, which cannot be undone via free utilities. The goal of the Kxde Ransomware is to encrypt your data, and then offer a paid decryption service. In this case, the criminals ask for $490, but they threaten to increase the ransom fee gradually if you do not pay immediately.
Kxde Ransomware's creators use the document '_readme.txt' to provide victims with their demands. The file also promises victims that they can have one of their files restored for free – they just need to send it to support@sysmail.ch or supportsys@airmail.cc. We advise you to accept this offer, but you should not consider paying the ransom fee. Sending cryptocurrency to Kxde Ransomware's creators may get you scammed.
Victims of the Kxde Ransomware should run an antivirus tool to eliminate the malicious program, and prevent it from causing more trouble. Then, explore alternative data recovery options.
