Angry Ransomware 🔐 (. Angry File) — Removal Guide

What is Angry virus?

In every directory that contains the encoded files, a unlock-info.txt text file will appear. It is a ransom money note. It contains information on the ways of contacting the racketeers and some other remarks. The ransom note most probably contains instructions on how to purchase the decryption tool from the racketeers. You can get this decoding tool after contacting , via email.

How did my computer get infected with Angry ransomware?

There are currently three most exploited ways for hackers to have ransomware settled in your system. These are email spam, Trojan injection and peer-to-peer networks.

If you access your mailbox and see emails that look like familiar notifications from utility services companies, postal agencies like FedEx, Internet providers, and whatnot, but whose mailer is unknown to you, beware of opening those letters. They are most likely to have a viral file attached to them. Thus it is even more dangerous to open any attachments that come with emails like these.

Another option for ransom hunters is a Trojan virus model³. A Trojan is an object that gets into your computer pretending to be something different. Imagine, you download an installer for some program you want or an update for some service. However, what is unboxed turns out to be a harmful agent that corrupts your data. As the update wizard can have any title and any icon, you’d better be sure that you can trust the resource of the files you’re downloading. The best way is to trust the software developers’ official websites.

As for the peer file transfer protocols like torrent trackers or eMule, the danger is that they are even more trust-based than the rest of the Internet. You can never guess what you download until you get it. So you’d better be using trustworthy websites. Also, it is a good idea to scan the folder containing the downloaded objects with the antivirus as soon as the downloading is finished.
