How to remove Pozq ransomware

What is Pozq ransomware?

Pozq is a malware program (a computer virus). Specifically, it is a ransomware program: a virus that encrypts all files to render them inaccessible, then demands payment (i.e. ransom) to decrypt them. Pozq belongs to the STOP/Djvu ransomware family. Generally, viruses in one family are similar to each other, because they’re based on the same computer code. This is true for STOP/Djvu viruses as well; in fact they’re remarkably similar to each other (just compare Powd).
When Pozq encrypts files, it also changes their names. For example, “img.jpg” would be renamed to “img.jpg.pozq”; as you can see, the virus adds .pozq file extension. To communicate the ransom demands to the victim, Pozq leaves a ransom note, “_readme.txt”. It contains the hackers’ contact information as well as the sum demanded from the victim. The hackers want a whooping $980 for the files, although a 50% discount is offered.
However, generally speaking you should not pay these criminals, or even contact them at all. They’re likely to ghost you after receiving payment, and you will be marked as a target for future attacks as a result. The guide below will explore other ways to remove .pozq ransomware and decrypt .pozq files.

How to remove Powd ransomware

What is Powd ransomware?

Powd is a computer virus in the STOP/Djvu family, one that falls under the ransomware category. Very roughly speaking, this means that it steals files from the computers it infects, and demands payment to give them back. To be more specific, files don’t get actually stolen, they’re digital after all. Instead, Powd encrypts them with a cryptographic algorithm. This means that they cannot be opened, or edited, or accessed in any way, until they’re decrypted. But to decrypt the files, a cryptographic key (a password essentially) is needed. The virus will tell this password to the hacker, but, of course, not to the victim. The victim will instead receive a ransom note demanding pay.
Powd ransom note, “_readme.txt”, doesn’t contain much valuable information; most of it is dedicated to psychological tricks. Still, it mentions the price of getting the files back: $980. A discount is also offered, though that should be considered one of the aforementioned tricks. The full text of the note can be read on the image above. Powd also renames the files after encrypting them; they receive .powd file extension.
Paying the hackers is not advised. It is, of course, expensive, but you also have no real guarantee that they will give you your files back. You may explore alternative ways to remove Powd ransomware and decrypt .powd files in the guide below.
