Terminating D2+D Ransomware

What is D2+D ransomware? And how does it execute its attack?

D2+D ransomware, also known as WindowsApp1 malware, tricks users into believing that their files are encrypted when in fact it’s really not. It is nothing but a ploy to get its victims to panic and pay the ransom right away. It generates a window informing users that their files are encrypted. Here’s the whole context of the ransom message:

As you can see, this ransomware is quite friendly (if there’s even one) for it offers 50% discount for its victims with low income. But in a mocking manner, it urges its victims to donate for their D2+D ransom project which is really preposterous. Fortunately for you, this malware does not encrypt any files and only serves to lock your computer screen to scare you. So there’s no need for you to panic much less pay the ransom.
Although screen lockers compromise only a smaller share of the overall malware percentage, it fails to cause serious damage like it wants to. The best way to deal with screen lockers like D2+D is an immediate removal before it can cause damage to your computer.

How is this ransomware distributed?

One of the main reasons why ransomware infections remains as one of the most destructive infection there is, is because it is distributed in a wide network. One of the common distribution techniques it uses is through spam email campaigns wherein they attach an infected file or a link and disguises the email as something like an invoice, receipt, bank information and whatnot to make you open the message and download the attachment. It would be best if you refrain opening suspicious emails especially the ones from anonymous senders to prevent malware like D2+D from infiltrating your computer.
