How to remove Muslat Ransomware and decrypt .muslat files

What is Muslat Ransomware?

Today we will talk in detail about Muslat cryptovirus, which is increasingly spreading around the world. This is an extortioner that comes to the PC and encrypts user data in various formats, be it audio files, video, multimedia, or MS office documents. As a rule, this affects the most important data for the user. The bet is made on the fact that the user does not want to part with their files and pay any amount. Muslat encrypts the data using a sophisticated algorithm, then changes their extension to .muslat, after which the files become unusable. It is worth noting that the virus deletes shadow copies of files and system restore points so that the user cannot delete Muslat and decrypt his files on his own. The virus creates a file note _readme.txt with the requirements of scam developers.
