How to remove BlackFireEye ransomware

BlackFireEye ransomware is a virus that demands a ransom in Bitcoin or ZCash currency

BlackFireEye ransomware — a virus that locks your data using sophisticated encryption methods and demands a ransom for recovering them. This is a typical ransomware that modifies files and keeps them blocked until the payment is done. However, there is no guarantee that after the ransom is paid, your data will be unlocked and the people behind this threat won't disappear. Before starting encrypting victim's files, BlackFireEye scans the system to see if it was encrypted already and then begins to lock data on the system. It uses .jes file extension to mark locked ones. This makes them useless and disables the opportunity to open or use them properly. After this, ransomware places the ransom message on the screen asking for a ransom in Bitcoin or ZCash cryptocurrency. The victim has three days to pay.

BlackFireEye ransomware virus is encrypting ransomware-type^[1] program. It is still unknown which encryption method this particular cryptovirus is using. However, no matter if it is an AES or RSA encryption algorithm, the attack is no joke. Encrypted files might be recovered only from a backup or using an official decryption tool. However, the decryption tool or key that criminals allegedly have might not even exist. According to PC experts, you should never pay for these criminals as they are not trustworthy. 

It is stated in the ransom note that you need send the money to the developers of BlackFireEye ransomware in 3 days. Otherwise, they claim that they will double the price. If the victim does not pay within a week, according to the message from cybercriminals, files won't be recoverable. However, there is no information about the ransom amount. 

As typical ransomware, this virus places a lengthy ransom note on the victims' screen right after encrypting files. This message contains a few questions answered and more details about the payment. The most interesting part is that the virus is urging victims to disable the antivirus software for some time. However, we do NOT recommend that as there is a chance of running into more issues related to this malware. You should remove BlackFireEye ransomware instead right after noticing even the smallest activity on your computer. Use anti-malware tools like FortectIntego to perform this task even quicker.

Ransomware may come through the insecure network

If there are any vulnerabilities in the system, ransomware can easily access your device and infect it with chosen malware. Security experts from various countries ^[3] advise people to update their software more often to avoid security holes that could lead them to virus infection. However, note that updates from insecure sites may also lead you to cyber infections. Only well-known providers should be used to prevent potential damage.

Spam email campaigns often use emails with malicious links or even infected files like Word, Excel or PDF that install the virus right after being clicked.
