Guide to Remove Wiki Ransomware

Wiki Ransomware is the latest member of the infamous Dharma Malware family. Alike other crypto-viruses, Wiki Virus has been developed to encrypt the files, degrade the PC performance & demand hefty ransom amount from the victims in exchange of the Wiki decrypter tool.

Wiki virus Ransomware spreads its infection through commonly used internet services such as spam e-mail campaigns, unreliable software download channels and fake software updaters. Once the PC is infected, Wiki virus searches the system for targeted system & user file extensions. When found, it encrypts the files using strong Encryption Algorithms & makes them instantly unreadable. It further drops a ransom-note on desktop of the infected system.

The note suggests the victim to pay the required ransom amount in Bitcoins within 24 hours to purchase Wiki decrypter. Any attempt of renaming the encrypted files or trying to decrypt using third party software may lead to permanent data loss.

Regardless, cyber-security analysts recommend users avoid communicating the hackers & making the ransom payment. Despite paying the ransom, the users not always receive the promised decryption tool or private unique key.
