FreeWorld Ransomware 🔐 [email protected]

The Freeworld virus falls within the ransomware type of infection. Harmful software of this type encrypts all the data on your computer (images, text files, excel sheets, audio files, videos, etc) and appends its own extension to every file, creating the FreeWorld-Contact.txt files in each folder containing encrypted files.

What is Freeworld virus?

Freeworld adds its specific .FreeWorldEncryption extension to every file’s title. For example, a file named “photo.jpg” will be renamed to “photo.jpg.FreeWorldEncryption”. Just like the Excel file named “table.xlsx” will be changed to “table.xlsx.FreeWorldEncryption”, and so forth.

In each folder that contains the encrypted files, a FreeWorld-Contact.txt text file will be found. It is a ransom money note. It contains information about the ways of paying the ransom and some other information. The ransom note usually contains a description of how to purchase the decryption tool from the tamperers. You can get this decrypting software after contacting [email protected] via email. That is it.

Ways of Freeworld ransomware infiltration

There are currently three most popular methods for criminals to have the Freeworld virus planted in your digital environment. These are email spam, Trojan introduction and peer networks.

• Another option for ransom hunters is a Trojan file model. A Trojan is an object that infiltrates into your machine pretending to be something else. Imagine, you download an installer for some program you want or an update for some service. However, what is unboxed turns out to be a harmful agent that encodes your data. As the installation wizard can have any name and any icon, you’d better be sure that you can trust the source of the files you’re downloading. The best thing is to trust the software companies’ official websites.
• As for the peer-to-peer file transfer protocols like torrents or eMule, the danger is that they are even more trust-based than the rest of the Web. You can never guess what you download until you get it. So you’d better be using trustworthy resources. Also, it is a good idea to scan the folder containing the downloaded objects with the antivirus as soon as the downloading is complete.

How to remove ransomware?

It is crucial to note that besides encrypting your files, the Freeworld virus will most likely install Vidar Stealer on your computer to seize your credentials to different accounts (including cryptocurrency wallets). That program can derive your logins and passwords from your browser’s auto-filling data.

How do I avert ransomware attack?

Freeworld ransomware has no endless power, neither does any similar malware.

You can defend your system from ransomware attack in three easy steps:

• Never open any letters from unknown senders with strange addresses, or with content that has likely no connection to something you are waiting for (can you win in a money prize draw without participating in it?). If the email subject is more or less something you are expecting, check all elements of the questionable letter with caution. A hoax email will always contain a mistake.
• Never use cracked or unknown software. Trojans are often spreaded as an element of cracked products, possibly under the guise of “patch” to prevent the license check. But potentially dangerous programs are difficult to tell from trustworthy software, because trojans may also have the functionality you need. You can try to find information about this software product on the anti-malware message boards, but the best solution is not to use such software.

Frequently Asked Questions

🤔 How can I open “.FreeWorldEncryption” files?Are the “.FreeWorldEncryption” files accessible?

Unfortunately, no. You need to decipher the “.FreeWorldEncryption” files first. Then you will be able to open them.

🤔 The encrypted files are very important to me. How can I decrypt them quickly?

It’s good if you have fаr-sightedly saved copies of these important files elsewhere. Otherwise, you might try to employ System Restore. The only question is whether you have saved any Restore Points that would be helpful now. There are other ways to beat ransomware, but they take time.

🤔 What should I do if the Freeworld ransomware has blocked my PC and I can’t get the activation code.

🤔 What can I do right now?

Many of the blocked files might still be within your reach

• If you sent or received your critical files by email, you could still download them from your online mail server.
• You might have shared photographs or videos with your friends or family members. Just ask them to post those images back to you.
• If you have initially downloaded any of your files from the Internet, you can try doing it again.
• Your messengers, social media pages, and cloud disks might have all those files as well.
• It might be that you still have the needed files on your old PC, a notebook, phone, external storage, etc.

USEFUL TIP: You can use file recovery programs¹ to retrieve your lost information since ransomware arrests the copies of your files, removing the authentic ones. In the tutorial below, you can learn how to use PhotoRec for such a recovery, but be advised: you can do it only after you remove the ransomware itself with an antivirus program.
