SHINRA ransomware is a dangerous form of malware that infects computers through various means, such as malicious email attachments, fake software downloads, or exploiting vulnerabilities in the system. Once the ransomware gains access to a computer, it encrypts the files on the system, making them inaccessible to the user. SHINRA ransomware typically adds specific file extensions to the encrypted files, such as .shinra or .locked, to indicate that they have been compromised.

How to remove Robaj Ransomware and decrypt .robaj files
Robaj Ransomware is a malicious software that encrypts files on a victim's computer and demands a ransom in exchange for the decryption key. It typically infects computers through phishing emails, malicious links, or software vulnerabilities. Once installed, Robaj Ransomware adds a .robaj extension to encrypted files, making them inaccessible to the user.
How to remove Tuborg Ransomware and decrypt .tuborg files
Tuborg Ransomware is a malicious software that encrypts the files on a computer, making them inaccessible to the user. It typically infects computers through phishing emails, malicious websites, or software vulnerabilities. Once a computer is infected, Tuborg Ransomware adds a specific file extension, such as .tuborg, to the encrypted files. It uses strong encryption algorithms, such as AES or RSA, to lock the files and prevent access without the decryption key.
How to remove Wormhole Ransomware and decrypt .wormhole files
Wormhole Ransomware is a malicious software that encrypts files on a victim's computer, rendering them inaccessible until a ransom is paid. It typically infiltrates a computer through phishing emails, malicious attachments, or exploit kits. Once inside the system, Wormhole Ransomware adds a unique file extension to encrypted files, making them easily identifiable. The encryption used by this ransomware is often strong and difficult to break without the decryption key.
How to remove Mitu ransomware
What is Mitu ransomware?
Mitu is a harmful program that falls under the definition of ransomware. To be considered ransomware, a virus must be encrypting files and demanding money for their decryption – which is exactly what Mitu does. It encrypts all files on the infected computer and gives them .mitu file extension. Then, it creates a ransom note, which can be read on the image above. This note is a text file called “_readme.txt”. It states that the victim must pay 980 US dollars if they want to decrypt the files. To tempt the victims, this price is halved during the first three days. We advise you not to fall for this trick. The hackers want a lot of money, and they are also very unreliable. Many of them don’t decrypt the files even after receiving payment. Instead of paying them, you should investigate other ways to remove Mitu ransomware and decrypt .mitu files. You may start by reading the article below. Though by no means comprehensive, it does list several ways of retrieving your files.
How to remove Wayn ransomware
What is Wayn ransomware?
Wayn is a malicious program designed to encrypt all files on the victim’s computer. This is done for the purposes of extortion: Wayn ransomware demands money to reverse the process of encryption. Indeed, all ransomware viruses operate in this manner. Although these viruses are remarkably similar to each other, the hackers actively attempt to distinguish them in some way. They wouldn’t want their victims to accidentally pay some other criminal, after all. In our case, the virus renames each encrypted file; they receive .wayn file extension. It is worth noting that paying the hackers is a bad idea. Governments all around the world encourage ransomware victims not to pay – rewarding the criminals may increase the frequency of such attacks. But there’s also a different reason to avoid the hackers: cost. In the ransom note left by the Wayn virus, they demand $980 or $490 for decryption, an unreasonably high amount. They are attempting to squeeze money out of desperate victims who think they have no other choice but to pay. But this is not exactly true. There are certain tools which may be able to remove Wayn ransomware and decrypt .wayn files. Learn about them in the guide below.
How to remove Agvv ransomware
What is Agvv ransomware?
Agvv is a new virus in the STOP/Djvu ransomware family. It is called ransomware because it encrypts all data on infected computers and demands money for the decryption. In practical terms, this means that you lose access to all of your files: documents, pictures, videos, and so on. They will be renamed, receiving .agvv file extension, and you will not be able to open them in any way. The hackers behind this virus programmed it to create a ransom note, called “_readme.txt”. In the note, the hackers say that you must pay them $980 or $490 to get the files back (the price depends on how quickly you pay). However, this is a bad deal, and not just because they want you to pay for something that was yours to begin with. It’s a bad deal because not all hackers hold up their end of the bargain; many simply take the money and disappear. But you don’t have to deal with these shady characters because there are other ways to remove Agvv ransomware and decrypt .agvv files. Keep reading to learn more.
How to remove Bhgr ransomware
What is Bhgr ransomware?
Bhgr is a malware program in the STOP/Djvu ransomware family. For simplicity’s sake, we will call it a virus, though not all malicious programs are actually viruses. Ransomware programs are a subcategory of malware that makes money by encrypting all files on infected computers and demanding payment for their decryption. This is what Bhgr virus does. After encrypting the files and giving them .bhgr file extension, it creates a ransom note to communicate its demands to the victim. In this file, which is called “_readme.txt” by the way, the hackers say that they want 980 United States dollars. To pressure hesitant victims into paying, they also mention that the price is 50% lower for the first three days (so, $490). This “generous discount” does not make their offer any more attractive, but, unfortunately, some desperate person may fall for it. Don’t be one of these people. Even the discounted price is still very high, and it’s also worth mentioning that not all hackers bother to decrypt the files even after receiving their payment. But paying the hackers is not the only way to remove Bhgr ransomware and decrypt .bhgr files. There are other options available to you as well; learn more by reading the guide below.
How to remove Bhtw ransomware
What is Bhtw ransomware?
Bhtw ransomware is a harmful program (in layman’s terms, a virus) that encrypts all files on infected computers. Such programs are called ransomware because they ask for money to decrypt these files, de facto holding them ransom. Bhtw virus is not an exception to this: it encrypts the files, gives them .bhtw file extension, and creates a ransom note (a text file named “_readme.txt”) demanding a hefty payment. You can read this note on the image above, if you wish, but it doesn’t contain much valuable information. It does, however, mention the exact amount of money the hackers want, 980 American dollars. Quite a lot, don’t you agree? And you’d think that the criminals would at least decrypt the files after getting paid, like they promise, but it doesn’t always happen. So, paying them is simply a rotten deal. Instead, you should explore other ways to remove Bhtw ransomware and decrypt .bhtw files. The guide below is a good place to start; just scroll down and start reading.
How to remove Bhui ransomware
What is Bhui ransomware?
Bhui is a computer virus that belongs to the STOP/Djvu ransomware family. These viruses encrypt data on your computer and insist on payment for decryption. There are many STOP/Djvu viruses – Ahgr and Ahtw are two recent examples – and they’re all very similar to each other. But it’s still very easy to identify Bhui ransomware; when it encrypts the files, it gives them .bhui file extension. Ransomware viruses infect many computers, but only people who lose valuable data ever consider paying. Unfortunately, the hackers know this too, so the ransom amount is always fairly high. The ransom note for this virus, “_readme.txt”, states that the criminals expect a payment of 980 US dollars – not exactly pocket change even for people who live in 1st world countries. So, for most people, paying the ransom is not a realistic option. In fact, even people who can afford it should think twice; the majority of hackers simply take the money and don’t decrypt anything at all. For these reasons, many people are looking into alternative ways to remove Bhui ransomware and decrypt .bhui files. Our guide will teach you several such methods, so keep reading.
