.DJVU File Extension

STOP Djvu ransomware is one of the most commonly distributed types of ransomware. After STOP Djvu infects a user's computer and encrypts their files, it produces a ransom message named _readme.txt. The message contains instructions a user is supposed to follow to decrypt their files.

Typically, the ransom message asks for a ransom of $980, unless the user contacts the ransomer in the first 72 hours after infection, in which case the ransom is halved to $490. Other variants of STOP ransomware append users' files with the .STOP, .rumba, .radman, .gero, or .CADQ extensions.

How did my computer get infected by STOP Djvu ransomware?

STOP Djvu ransomware is most commonly distributed in programs that appear to be legitimate but are actually adware and malware bundles. If you recently downloaded and installed an unverified program, that may be how STOP Djvu ransomware infected your computer.

DJVU files are encrypted and cannot be opened. If you want to attempt to decrypt your DJVU files and return them to their pre-infected state, you can use Emsisoft Decryptor for STOP Djvu. The decryptor's website includes detailed instructions for decrypting DJVU files.
