RensenWare Ransomware Data Recovery

What is RensenWare Ransomware?

RensenWare is a type of malware that encrypts your files and demands a ransom to decrypt them. It is a serious threat to your computer and your personal information and should be removed from your system as soon as possible. RensenWare may also spread to other computers on your network, so it is important to take steps to protect all of your devices.

How does RensenWare work?

RensenWare works by encrypting your files with a strong encryption algorithm. 

Once your files are encrypted, you will not be able to open or access them without the decryption key. Then RensenWare will display a ransom note on your screen that demands payment to decrypt your files. The ransomware will usually demand payment in Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency.

What types of files does RensenWare encrypt?

RensenWare will primarily target documents, images, and other types of files that are important to you. This ransomware may also encrypt system files or other types of files.

What extension does RensenWare add to encrypted files?

RensenWare will add the “.locked” extension to your encrypted files.

What encryption methods does it use?

RensenWare uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm to encrypt your files.

History

Security researchers first discovered RensenWare in 2016. This ransomware is believed to be of Japanese origin and was designed to target gamers. Attackers spread RensenWare through a game called Touhou Hisoutensoku, which is a fighting game similar to Street Fighter. When RensenWare Ransomware is installed on your computer, it will encrypt your files and demand a ransom of $300 in Bitcoin.

How can I remove RensenWare from my computer?

It is important to remove ransomware from your computer as soon as possible to prevent further damage. RensenWare is a serious threat to your computer and you should not ignore it. You can remove the ransomware with malware removal tools like Malwarebytes or SuperAntispyware. Also, you can try to remove this ransomware manually, but this is generally not recommended unless you are an experienced computer user.

If you cannot remove RensenWare Ransomware or decrypt your files, then you may need to reinstall your operating system. This will delete all the files on your hard drive, so make sure that you have a backup of your important files before you proceed.

What should I do next?

After you have removed RensenWare Ransomware from your computer, you should take steps to protect your computer from future infections. First, you should install an antivirus program and keep it up-to-date. You should also avoid opening email attachments from unknown senders and avoid downloading files from untrustworthy websites. Finally, you should regularly back up your important files to an external hard drive or cloud storage service. This way, if you do become infected with RensenWare Ransomware or another type of malware, you will be able to restore your files from backup.

I don’t have a backup. What can I do?

If you do not have a backup of your files, then you may be able to use data recovery software to recover your files. This software can often recover files that ransomware has encrypted.

However, data recovery software may not be able to recover all of your files and it is not guaranteed to work.

Anyway, SalvageData data recovery software is recommended.

Public decryption tool

At this time, there is no public decryption tool available for RensenWare Ransomware. However, security researchers may release a decryption tool in the future.

 

But, you should not wait for a decryption tool to be released if attackers have infected you with RensenWare Ransomware.

And also, even if you find a decryption tool, there is no guarantee that it will work or that it will not damage your files.

 

So, the best thing to do is to focus on preventing ransomware infections in the first place by taking steps to protect your computer.

Paying the ransom

We do not recommend paying the ransom if you are infected with RensenWare Ransomware. This is because there is no guarantee that you will get your files back even if you pay the ransom. There have been cases where victims have paid the ransom but still did not get their files back.

In addition, by paying the ransom, you will be supporting the attackers and encouraging them to continue their malicious activities.
