How to remove Amagnus@india.com ransomware virus

New Dharma variant Amagnus@india.com ransomware virus spreads rapidly

Amagnus@india.com virus is a variant of Dharma ransomware, which appears to be an improved Crysis virus. Since master keys of Crysis ransomware have been released and victims became able to decrypt .xtbl file extension files for free, malware authors became rabid and shortly started to send out new and improved ransomware variants. Amagnus@india.com ransomware, as well as its clones stopper@india.com virus or pay4help@india.com virus, locks files with a complex encryption algorithm and appends a specific file extension to them. In this case, virus adds [Amagnus@india.com].wallet or [Amagnus@india.com].dharma file extension to every encode file. After making victim’s files inaccessible, the virus prepares a message, which it saves into How to decrypt your files.txt or ReadMe.txt document and saves it on victim’s PC. The same ransom note hides in every folder that holds some encrypted data. This ransom note, just like the desktop wallpaper that the virus sets on the compromised computer, provides brief details about the infection, stating that paying the ransom is the only way to successful data recovery. Sadly, if you do not have a backup, these words are true. If you do not have a backup, we suggest you try data recovery options we present, but keep in mind that these solutions might not help you to recover your encrypted files. Besides, do not forget to remove Amagnus@india.com malware using proper malware removal tools. Our team recommends using FortectIntego, but you can use alternate options such as SpyHunterCombo Cleaner or MalwarebytesMalwarebytes.  

If recovering your files is a matter front-and-center, you should think about several things before you take that credit card of yours. Do not believe criminals’ promises to give you the decryption tool as soon as you pay the ransom – in some cases, criminals “forget,” ignore, and never get back to victims who paid the ransom. Therefore, evaluate the risk of losing your money along with your files for nothing.

How do ransomware viruses spread?

Amagnus@india.com malware, just like the rest of Dharma viruses, is mainly distributed via email, so you need to be careful whenever you login into your email account. Beware of legitimate-looking phishing letters that deliver malware payload in the form of a secure-looking file! Nowadays, scammers manage to obfuscate viruses by inserting malicious scripts into files such as documents, PDF files or even pictures. So if you suddenly received an email from an unknown company that kindly asks you to view contents of attached file, don’t follow such commands. Bear in mind that criminals also like to pretend that they work at Paypal and have the right to inform people about “received payments,” so do not blindly click on links or email attachments that such emails contain. Try to remember if you were supposed to get such payment first. Follow your common sense and do not let scammers deceive you with such cheap tricks. Some malware distributors employ advanced malware dissemination techniques, for example, malvertising or exploit kits, and in case the victim encounters these menaces, an anti-malware tool might be the only one thing capable of defending your system because non-tech users hardly can identify malicious ads or recognize redirections to infectious websites before its too late.
