Remove LOWPRICE Ransomware

The LOWPRICE Ransomware is a file-encryption Trojan whose creators are spreading through the use of fake downloads and pirated content. You do not want to take any risks by encountering this threat because it may cause long-lasting damage to your important files. By design, ransomware threats are meant to encrypt a long list of file formats and then extort their victim for money. This project is not any different, and its victims might be asked to pay hundreds in dollars in exchange for a decryptor.

The LOWPRICE Ransomware belongs to the Phobos family of ransomware. It is not decryptable via free tools, and the only option for its victims may be to restore the data from a backup. If your system has been infected by this threat, you will notice some obvious changes. The inaccessible files will have a new extension at the end of their name – '.id[<VICTIM ID>].[ICQ_SAFEPLACE].LOWPRICE.' It seems that LOWPRICE Ransomware's creators are using ICQ to get in touch with their victims. Antoher recent variant of Phobos is the Calix Ransomware.

More details about the attack can be found in the file in the file 'info.txt,' which the threat drops after it is done encrypting files. The ransom note provides the email address virtualhorse1@protonmal.com, which victims can use to contact the perpetrators. The crooks also offer to unlock a few small files for free – a common trick that ransomware authors use to win the trust of their victims.

It is not a good idea to send money to LOWPRICE Ransomware's authors. They will ask to be paid via Bitcoin – this means that it will be impossible to cancel the transaction in case they try to scam you. Ransomware victims who opt to pay the ransom sum often end up scammed.
