How to remove NotAHero ransomware

NotAHero ransomware is a cryptovirus that puts victims' data in a zip file and makes them inaccessible

NotAHero ransomware is not an ordinary file-encrypting threat^[1] as it locks target data in a .zip file. Despite its extremely plain design, it should not be underestimated. This virus is still capable of making victim's files useless and demanding a ransom for their recovery. At the moment, NotAHero is using locked.zip file extension to mark encrypted data. Alternatively known as KyMERA, it requires using KyMERA-Gian@outlook.com contact email to reach its developers. After locking the files, ransomware drops a file “Pay me bitcoins to get all your files unlocked.txt” which contains information about payment.

Ransom note contains not much. Usually, this message states all details about ransomware attack and payment methods. This time virus only gives you the wallet address where you need to pay for data to be unlocked. File decryption is not available and merely possible when dealing with this type of file locking. Nonetheless, time might be a crucial matter when dealing with this threat. Let FortectIntego deal with Not a Hero removal.

Ransom note contains:

'Send it to this adress

Locked files in a created archive placed on a drive with the largest amount of free space. This archive locked with a password. Cybercriminals allegedly have this password and can give it to you if you pay them the demanded amount, which is not known. NotAHero ransomware virus developers are scammers, and they should not be trusted.
