How to remove Razy 5.0 ransomware virus

Razy 5.0 virus is yet another money-seeking ransomware

Razy 5.0 virus has been released, and this version of Razy ransomware seems to be spreading in the form of Adobe document. Once the victim attempts to open it, Razy 5.0 malware displays a pop-up saying “Error on PDF file!” and then starts encrypting all victim’s files. Every encrypted file gets its original name replaced with a scrambled string and .razy file extension, which makes it easy to identificate the virus. Meanwhile, the virus displays a program window called “Razy,” which showcases a message saying:

Your computer files have been encrypted. Your photos, videos, documents, etc…
But, don’t worry! We have not deleted them, yet!
You have to pay 10€ PaySafeCard to get the decryption key.
Try anything funny and the computer has several safety measures to delete your files.
You have one chance to enter the PaySafeCard code! Be careful!

Surprisingly, the virus asks for a low ransom payment, however, this does not make the virus any better, and you should not support cyber crime by paying it. It seems that authors of this virus are not as greedy as other cyber criminals, however, as long as there is hope that malware researchers can crack the virus and create a free decryption tool, you shouldn’t pay up. Do not be scared by criminals threats promising to delete your files and remove Razy 5.0 ransomware from the system as soon as you can. For that, we highly recommend using FortectIntego or SpyHunterCombo Cleaner software. You shouldn’t try to carry out Razy 5.0 removal manually as this way you can severely damage the computer system by erasing wrong files. It is better to rely on automatic malware removal tool as it makes no mistakes and can completely remove this virus from the system.

How does Razy 5.0 virus infect the computer?

As we have already mentioned, this virus infects victim’s computer via a safe-looking PDF file. It seems that cyber criminals distribute this malicious file via deceptive email messages, claiming that they are delivering an important document that the victim needs to read immediately. Please be attentive because malicious email campaigns are probably the most efficient way of spreading ransomware nowadays. Many users still fall for crooks’ tricks and open malicious links or attachments and unknowingly invite the ransomware into the system. Just as we have said, once the victim attempts to open the Adobe Acrobat file, the virus displays a message box saying “Error on PDF file!” and in the meantime, starts encrypting all victim’s files. Just to let you know, a proper anti-malware tool can prevent this from happening, so if you haven’t protected your PC with such program already, do it as soon as you can.
