How to remove CRBR Encryptor ransomware and decrypt your files

What is CRBR Encryptor ?

CRBR Encryptor is a new release of famous and widespread Cerber ransomware virus which also encrypts files on victim’s PC. The virus uses RSA-2048 algorithm to lock files and appends the random extension to affected files. Upon the completion, a pop-up window is displayed that contains instructions to pay the ransom and decrypt your files. Similarly to the previous version, CRBR Encryptor ransomware is a serious threat to your PC which should be removed immediately.

This is what CRBR Encryptor ransom note contains:

Here is used a typical scheme of similar viruses – to intimidate users and to make them pay. Cybercriminals usually state that there are no ways to recover your files but to pay the ransom of 0.5 BitCoins (~$8625.00). Once payment is done, they are supposed to send you decryption key. You should know that nobody can guarantee that they will fulfill their end of the bargain. The practice shows that cyber-criminals just ignore people who paid them. Unfortunately, to date, there are no decryption tools available for the CRBR Encryptor ransomware. As soon as it appears, we’ll be sure and let you know. But for now, you can try using System Restore which is the only way to decrypt your files.
