What is NEMTY REVENUE 3.1?

NEMTY modifies your files by means of AES encrypting them and demanding the ransom to be paid allegedly to restore access to them.

NEMTY REVENUE 3.1 virus modifies all popular file types by means of adding the .NEMTY_XXXXXXX extension, thus making the data absolutely unavailable. The victims simply cannot open their important documents anymore. The ransomware also assigns its unique identification key, just like all previous representatives of the virus family. As soon the file is encrypted by the ransomware, it obtains a special new extension becoming the secondary one. The file virus also generates a ransom note NEMTY_XXXXXXX-DECRYPT.txt providing the users want instructions allegedly to restore the data.

What Is It and How Did I Get It?

The Nemty ransomware is most commonly spread by means of a payload dropper. It runs the malicious script that eventually installs the file virus. The threat circulates actively on the web, considering the facts about the ransomware mentioned in the VirusTotal database. The Nemty ransomware may also promote its payload files through popular social networks and via file-sharing platforms. Alternatively, some free applications hosted on many popular resources may also be disguised as helpful tools, whereas they instead may lead to the malicious scripts that injected the ransomware. Your personal caution to prevent the Nemty virus attack matters a lot!

Nemty File Virus is a infection that encrypts your data and presents a frustrating ransomware notice. Below is the screenshot depicting the ransomware note:

How to decrypt .nemty files?

Jan 02, 2020 - Update to the #Nemty #Ransomware decryptor for Nemty versions 2.2 & 2.3

You can download and use Nemty Decryptor that Tesorion4 released if you were hit by Nemty virus.

For using Nemty Decryptor, please read the instructions on the Usage tab, it explains what files you can upload:

Hi, and thank you for using our Nemty decryptor! 
You will have to go through a few steps to decrypt your files. 

1.	First please upload the ransom note from your encrypted system using File/Open. 
	This file is named: “NEMTY-DECRYPT.txt” or “_NEMTY_#######_-DECRYPT.txt” and
	can be found in every folder with encrypted files.

2a.	Optional step, depending on the result of step 1.
	Please upload a single encrypted file from your system using File/Open. 
	The file may be in one of the formats below: 
		a.	.docx
		b.	.pdf
		c.	.png
		d.	.pptx
		e.	.xlsx
		f.	.zip

2b.	Please wait for the decryption server to finish processing your file. 
	This may take several minutes or up to half an hour, depending on how busy the decryption server is.
	After this step, this application should be able to decrypt your files.

3.	Lastly, please select a folder to decrypt (default is the path of the selected file), using 'Select'. 
	After selecting this folder press 'Decrypt' to start the decryption, 
	it will try to decrypt all files in that folder, as well as in any folders below it.
	This may take a (very) long time.


For now;
                please select ‘File/Open...’ or 'Start' to start the first step.

What the next?

If the guide doesn’t help you to remove Nemty infection, please download the GridinSoft Anti-Malware that I recommended. Also, you can always ask me in the comments for getting help. Good luck!
