How to remove Mmdt ransomware

What is Mmdt ransomware

Mmdt is a ransomware program. Assuming you’re unfamiliar with the term, ransomware is a class of malicious software (malware) that utilizes cryptographic algorithms to coerce money out of its victims. This is done by encrypting the victim’s files, which renders them inaccessible. You can think of it as password-locking, except in this case, the hacker is the only who knows the password. The criminal will then offer to decrypt the files for a fee. As these programs essentially hold your files for ransom, they are given the term ransomware.
Mmdt in particular belongs to the STOP/Djvu ransomware family. This means that it behaves nearly identically to other programs in this family (compare Vvew ransomware). The ransom note is always named “_readme.txt” and is always located on the victim’s Desktop. The text, too, is always identical, other than the hacker’s contact information. You can view the Mmdt ransom note on the image above, if you wish. The short version is that hackers want $980 for decryption, but will give a 50% discount if paid within 3 days after infection; the same as with all other STOP/Djvu viruses.
The virus also gives the files it encrypts a new extension – in this case, .mmdt file extension.
This guide will explain how to remove Mmdt ransomware and decrypt .mmdt files.

How to remove Oodt ransomware

What is Oodt ransomware

Oodt is a harmful program that generates money for the hackers who wrote it via ransom – hence the name, ransomware. The easiest thing to hold for ransom for a digital program is, of course, data. The virus encrypts all files on the targeted computer, which makes them impossible to access. To access them again, they need to be decrypted, which the hackers offer to do. The offer is facilitated, obviously, by the virus itself; it creates a ransom note named “_readme.txt” on the Desktop. Check it out on the image above, if you want; the short version is that the hackers want $980 for decryption and use a few psychological tricks to get the victim to pay. One of these tricks is 50% discount within the first 72 hours of infection. The virus also renamed the files that it encrypts, giving them .oodt file extension.
Read below to learn how to remove Oodt ransomware. However, this alone isn’t sufficient; you will also need a way to decrypt .oodt files. This is more difficult, but there are options, too.

How to remove Oovb ransomware

What is Oovb ransomware

Oovb is a computer virus designed to make money for the hacker who wrote it. Generally, viruses can achieve this goal in many ways – cryptocurrency mining, stealing bank accounts, and so on. In this case, however, the money isn’t being directly stolen. Instead, the virus makes all files on the victim’s computer unreadable using a special encryption algorithm, then demands money to decrypt them. This type of malicious programs is called ransomware. Oovb in particular belongs to the STOP/Djvu ransomware family, which means it behaves in a fashion very similar to other programs in this family (compare Hhwq, another ransomware program in the STOP/Djvu family).
Although the encryption method is always slightly different, otherwise these viruses are like peas in a pod. All of them give encrypted files a four-letter extension (after which they are named). This means that Oovb gives encrypted files .oovb file extension. All of them also create a “_readme.txt” file on the Desktop containing the ransom note, which is also always the same except for the hacker’s contact information. You can check Oovb ransom note on the image above.
In this guide, we will explain how to remove Oovb from your computer and how to decrypt .oovb files.

What is Pizzasucker ransomware

Pizzasucker is a illicit program that extorts money out of people by encrypting their files (ransomware). Encrypted files cannot simply be accessed; they need to be decrypted first. The hackers who wrote the virus offer the victim to do just that, for a large amount of money. The offer often includes psychological pressure and other tricks to get the victim to pay.
Most often such programs communicate these “offers” via a simple text file, referred to as a ransom note. The image above contains the full text of Pizzasucker’s ransom note, though it doesn’t really contain much beyond contact information.
In this case, the hackers went an extra mile to get their contacts as visible as possible; the virus gives all encrypted files .ICQ@PIZZASUCKER file extension.
As these cybercriminals often want a lot of money for their “services”, it is best to not pay them. Despite their reassurances to the contrary, it is possible to remove Pizzasucker for free, and you may be able to decrypt Pizzasucker files as well. The guide below will explain what to do.
