Remove Sage Ransomware

The malicious application Sage Ransomware has received this name, because it attaches the Sage file name extension to the files that they encrypted. Yes, just like at a number of other threats, which were classified in the category of Ransomware infections, the Sage of Ransomware encrypts files using RSA-4096-encryption (at least claimed by the ransom demand, which leaves it for the user,). It does so to a ransom demand, and innocent people pull money out of your pocket. There are quite a few users who are willing to pay the ransom in Exchange for the decryption tool. We blame these users because this threat really encrypted a number of different files, i.e. all data, the in the % USERPROFILE % directory and its subfolders as well as in the %HOMEDRIVE%. Although this Ransomware infection uses a strong encryption algorithm, and it is probably no longer possible without prejudice to the special key to pictures, documents and other important files, the researchers, who work at 2-delete-spyware.com, discourage sending money cybercriminals. They advise against it, because they know exactly what could happen – it would be possible that the key will be sent to the user not as promised.

User help that enters the Ransomware Sage into the computer. As it turns out, they run a malicious attachment, they find in a spam E-mail. Then stores this threat even in the % APPDATA % directory. Uses a random name, but without a doubt, this file has an .exe file name extension, such as nDhy8EZN.exe. Then she starts to encrypt personal data (such as slides, documents, videos and music) are stored on the computer. As soon as all the files the. Sage file name extension will receive, is she her own image as desktop wallpaper (this .bmp image located at %TEMP%) and sets the ransom (!) Recovery_QXes1s.txt and! Recovery_QXes1s.html) from three times in % temp %, %USERPROFILE%\Dokumente and on the desktop. It creates also a startup shortcut in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Startmenü\Programme\Startup for the ransom with the extension .html, so that it is automatically opened for a user, if the Windows operating system starts.

Users who are viewing one of the ransom demands, immediately find out what with your files is done, because it contains the following statement: “All your files, images, videos and databases where have been encrypted and no longer accessible by software known as Sage!” (“All your files, pictures, videos and databases were encrypted by a software, which is known as Sage, and it can no longer be accessed on it!”). It says also that a ransom of 93 USD (0,1237 Bitcoin) “for decryption” must be paid within a specified time period. If this time expires and the payment is not received by the cybercriminals, the ransom is doubled (186 USD). If the user does still nothing, the decryption key is blocked and is no longer available according to ransom. We know how much you need to recover your files, and that the ransom, which requires the Sage of Ransomware, is not very high, but we do still not advisable to pay the Cyberschurken. Of course, you have the last word in this case, but we think you should try out alternative methods of data recovery. For example you can easily restore the encrypted files from a backup copy (this is only possible if the backup copy before entering this Ransomware infection was created and was saved on an external storage device, such as a USB stick). A third-party recovery application can help you may also, i.e. that would be worth a try also. If you decide to send money the cybercriminals, you must be prepared, to lose your money, because it often happens that the developer sends the decryption tool not in Exchange for the payment of Ransomware infection, even though the ransom note, that this would be done right after the transfer of the money.

We want to now a few words about the dissemination of Ransomware Sagen Sage before we begin the deletion procedure. The investigation has shown clearly that this file scrambling threat differs at all from those Ransomware infections, were brought before some time in circulation, such as the CryptoWire Ransomware, NMoreira Ransomware and Kangaroo Ransomware, although it was introduced only recently in circulation: encrypted files, makes changes in the infected computer, and is spread in mainly through spam emails. It is obvious that she appears in these spam emails usually as a legitimate-looking attachment in appearance.
