If the computer has been affected by ransomware, you should find ransom notes on computer's desktop. In this case, they might be called recover.txt. If so, it is clear that you have been affected by a new ransomware dubbed Perl virus. It is a version of Locky and Bart ransomware, and unfortunately, we cannot provide you with decryption software as such one hasn't been discovered yet. Locky has proved to be an undefeatable ransomware virus, so chances of creating a decryption method are low. However, it does not mean that you should pay the ransom. Criminals can send you a malicious file and do even more damage to your computer. You can find guidelines on how to remove Perl ransomware in this article - Perl ransomware virus. How to Remove? (Uninstall Guide).
