How to remove Locdoor ransomware

Locdoor ransomware is a cryptovirus that demands $0.10 for encrypted files

Locdoor ransomware is a fraudulent crypto infection that starts its activity by claiming your homepage was encrypted. Supposedly, if you pay the demanded $0.10 ransom, virus developers are going to send you a decryption tool. However, the particular ransomware^[1] is not encrypting your files. Alternatively known as DryCry, the virus just locks your computer screen and drops various items on the desktop. After convincing its victims that the device is locked by the cryptovirus, ransomware displays a specific note about the infection on the screen called Notice_readme.txt. Also, Locdoor displays a browser window with the instructions for your further actions. This HTML window displays even more details about the alleged decryption tool and cryptocurrency payments.

Besides, paying the ransom is not useful since there is no encryption procedure initiated by the virus. Developers are seeking just to lure people with the small ransom, but there is no doubt that people behind the threat are not trustworthy in any way.
