Remove Unlocker Ransomware

Unlocker Ransomware is a new piece of malware whose operators are distributing it with the help of pirated content, fake downloads, email spam, and other shady content. The goal of this ransomware is to infect systems, and then encrypt the files stored on them. It goes after a long list of file formats – documents, various media, spreadsheets, databases, archives, and more. After it encrypts a file successfully, the ransomware will also append a new suffix to its name – '.[unlocker@onionmail.org].[<VICTIM ID>].lock.'

Of course, the Unlocker Ransomware attack is preventable if you invest in reputable anti-malware software to keep you safe. While your system is protected, threats like this one will never get a chance to cause any trouble – their execution will be ceased as soon as their malicious intents are detected.

After the Unlocker Ransomware carries out the attack, it will create a ransom note called 'README_WARNING.txt.' The latter contains the instructions of the criminals who, unsurprisingly, are demanding a hefty ransom payment. We assure you that trying to buy anything off of cybercriminals is a terrible idea, and you should not consider it. Instead, use an anti-malware application to eliminate the Unlocker Ransomware's files immediately. Unfortunately, the threat's removal does not guarantee a positive outcome – you will be unable to use your data still. Proceed to try and recover it through the use of alternative data recovery options.
