Vegclass@aol.com Ransomware

Getting infected with a ransomware program is probably one of the worst computer experiences because it is quite often that it is not possible to revert the damage done. Vegclass@aol.com Ransomware is one of such programs, and it happens to come from the same group of applications as Redshitline Ransomware. It means that the program encrypts your files and then expects you to transfer the ransom money to their account. Needless to say, your job is to remove Vegclass@aol.com Ransomware from your computer and then protect your system from similar intruders. You have to make sure that such infections do not enter your computer again.

There are quite a few ransomware programs out there that even lock your screen and leave only one option to connect to the Internet: the Tor browser. Vegclass@aol.com Ransomware, on the other hand, does not do such a thing. It does not touch your screen, but you can be sure it will rob you off of any opportunity to open your files again. Once the infection enters your computer, it encrypts your files using the RSA-2048 decryption key. To put it simply, it scrambles your files and then puts them back together in a pattern known only to that program. The “key” for the decryption is held by the people who created this infection, and you are supposed to “buy” it by sending them the ransom fee.

In order to transfer the payment, you should contact the criminals via one of the two given emails: Vegclass@aol.com or Greebin@india.com. Some ransomware programs tell you the amount of the ransom in the notification they display on your desktop. However, this program does not do that. Instead, you need to send one encrypted file to one of the aforementioned email addresses, and once the message reaches the people behind this program, they will contact you with more details on how to decrypt your files.

Perhaps you are wondering how these people know that it is you when they probably receive quite a few emails from the infected users. The point is that each infected computer has its own authentic ID. The ID can be seen on every single encrypted file. When this program affects your files, it changes the extension. For instance, document.jpg turns into document.jpg-id-B4500913.Vegclass@aol.com.xtbl. When this file with the unique ID reaches the cyber criminals, they should issue instructions on what to do next.

We would recommend strongly against paying the ransom because there is no guarantee that the money would reach the criminals in the first place. And second, even if they do issue the decryption key, you cannot be sure that it will help you unlock your files. In fact, the best way to restore your files is to get them back from an external backup. Perhaps you keep a hard drive with most of your important files. Perhaps you store them on a virtual cloud drive. Whichever way it might be; this is the most efficient way to restore your files because decrypting them could be out of the question.

However, before you copy and paste your files back, you need to be sure that no malicious files remain on your computer. Please follow the instructions below to get rid of this ransomware application and then get yourself a legitimate antispyware tool to protect yourself from similar infections. Removing the malware files from your computer could prove to be challenging because Vegclass@aol.com Ransomware has random file names. It means that in each infected computer the files of this program are titled differently.

Thus, you will need to go through all the unfamiliar files you do not recognize in the directories presented below and remove them.

If your desktop picture is still modified even after you have removed all of the malware files, then you can simply change it the way you change it normally. Finally, be sure to avoid similar infections in the future. Be careful when you open emails and email attachments from unknown senders. Please bear in mind that usually official emails do not require you to open any attachment or click an outgoing link.
