Archiveus is a typical ransomware trojan that encrypts user documents in the My Documents folder, and protects encrypted files with a password. The parasite deletes original files and leaves only encrypted archives. If the user opens such an archive, Archiveus displays a message asking the user to enter the password, which can be obtained after paying the ransom by purchasing pharmacy online. Archiveus runs every time the user opens trojan encrypted files.
