What to do if you’re infected by Batman_good@aol.com ransomware virus

If your PC has been attacked by cyber criminals who have sent Batman_good@aol.com virus to you, do not rush to pay the ransom they demand. This virus version is closely related to Shade and Crysis viruses and can be decrypted for free. If your files have been encrypted by Batman_good@aol.com ransomware, then you have to remove the infection first. For that, we suggest using FortectIntego or SpyHunterCombo Cleaner software. Files can be decrypted with special software that can be downloaded here.

The indicated virus belongs to XTBL ransomware family, which is well-known for its signature .XTBL file extension that is added to every encrypted file. In this case, the ransomware adds ID-[Victim’s ID number].Batman_good@aol.com.xtbl file extension to encrypted data. The virus uses exceptionally strong encryption to render data useless, and it applies it to documents, pictures, videos, presentations, music and other files, making it impossible to open them or edit them in any way. In other words, the user cannot do anything with these files once they get encrypted. This way, the victim can lose weeks of work, precious memories, important information and similar material, which can make him panic. That is why after encoding all files such viruses leave a ransom note in a place where the victim is going to notice it, for example, on the desktop. The ransom note asks the victim to contact the provided email to get information on how to decrypt encrypted data. Typically, crooks ask the victim to buy Bitcoins and transfer them to a unique Bitcoin address using Tor browser. This payment method prevents crooks from being tracked down. However, just as we have mentioned, you shouldn’t pay the ransom as cyber security experts have already cracked this virus down and created a free Batman_good@aol.com decryption tool that all victims can use to decrypt their files. Before you download this tool, make sure you remove Batman_good@aol.com malware using a powerful anti-malware program. We do not recommend you to try to delete the virus on your own as you can eliminate the wrong files and do damage the computer system instead of helping it.
