What is a DJVUS file?
A file with the .djvus extension has been renamed and encrypted by STOP Djvus ransomware. The file could be an encrypted document, image, video, or other type of file. Because the file is encrypted, you cannot open it. Typically, the .djvus extension is added to the file's normal extension, resulting in a file with an extension like .docx.djvus.
More Information
STOP ransomware, also known as STOP Djvu ransomware, is a common family of ransomware that cybercriminals use to extort ransoms from PC users. The DJVUS variant of STOP ransomware first appeared in late 2018. It encrypts a user's files and then produces a plain text ransom note named _readme.txt in every folder that contains an infected file. The note contains instructions users are meant to follow to decrypt their files.
How did my computer get infected by STOP Djvus ransomware?
STOP Djvus ransomware is most commonly distributed within 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 your computer became infected by STOP Djvus ransomware.
