How to remove NEMTY REVENGE 2.0 ransomware and decrypt .NEMTY_*ID* files

NEMTY REVENGE 2.0 ransomware encryption process.

NEMTY REVENGE 2.0 belongs to the file-encryption ransomware family of the same name. There is only one other representative of this family, that has the same name too – NEMTY. NEMTY REVENGE 2.0 has the same principles of work, as the previous version, but the mechanisms are different. Both representatives of this family aim at the preventing the owner of the infected device from the accessing to the definite file formats. Potentially everyone can face the infection with NEMTY REVENGE 2.0, as the ways of its disseminating are not found out yet. We can guess by drawing analogies between the two versions, that the new one mostly spreads by the means of email attachments and fake installators. The malicious code is injected in such file and activates once the user decides to open it. If your device is already infected with this virus, we should warn you not to try to remove NEMTY REVENGE 2.0 ransomware encryption by yourself. Every single manipulation with the file can pottentially damage it permanently.

The encryption process can be characterized as the logical one, as the 2 main stages always occur one by one. The first step, that virus makes is the scanning of the hard drive. NEMTY ransomware can attack only definite file formats, such as .doc, .png, .mp3 and etc. It’s so, because the encryption of all data takes a great amount of time and resources, so in this case the owner of the device will notice, that something is wrong with the system. That’s why the virus can encrypt only valuable information. When the files are found, the virus modifies their structures and makes them unreadable. The clear sign of the successful encryption is the new .NEMTY_*ID* extension, that consists of the two parts: the name of the virus and ID of the victim. The main reason of creating the virus is to make the owners of the infected devices pay for the decryption services that hackers offer. For this reason the virus also creates the ransom note, that is called NEMTY_*ID*-DECRYPT.txt and contains the following information:
