Terminating J Ransomware - Fix My PC Free

What is J Ransomware? And how does it work?
J ransomware is a newly developed file-encrypting threat that targets individual computer users and home PCs rather than businesses. This ransomware is discovered early in July 2017. The ransomware arrives on your computer after you download an infected file or its executable file which is J-Ransomware.exe that can be installed on your computer using exploit kits and the good old spam email attachments. Once it gets into your computer, it modifies your Windows Registry so that it can boot during system startup.
J Ransomware is pretty much a fatal infection since it can delete your backup files as well as their shadow volume copies which make the Windows Previous Versions method useless and makes data recovery even more complicated for you. This malware also has another feature; it can restart your PC before it begins to encrypt your files. After that, it scans your computer for the following file extensions:
.3gp, .7z, .apk, .avi, .bmp, .cdr, .cer, .chm, .conf, .css, .csv, .dat, .db, .dbf, .djvu, .dbx, .docm, ,doc, .epub, .docx .fb2, .flv, .gif, .gz, .iso .ibooks,.jpeg, .jpg, .key, .mdb .md2, .mdf, .mht, .mobi .mhtm, .mkv, .mov, .mp3, .mp4, .mpg .mpeg, .pict, .pdf, .pps, .pkg, .png, .ppt .pptx, .ppsx, .psd, .rar, .rtf, .scr, .swf, .sav, .tiff, .tif, .tbl, .torrent, .txt, .vsd, .wmv, .xls, .xlsx, .xps, .xml, .ckp, .zip, .java, .py, .asm, .c, .cpp, .cs, .js, .php, .dacpac, .rbw, .rb, .mrg, .dcx, .db3, .sql, .sqlite3, .sqlite, .sqlitedb, .psd, .psp, .pdb, .dxf, .dwg, .drw, .casb, .ccp, .cal, .cmx, .cr2.
And then, during the encryption process, it uses AES cryptography and then appends .LoveYou file extension on the encrypted files. Once the data encryption process is completed, it creates the ReadMe.txt file which contains information about J ransomware as well as this message:
‘Hey you !! Congratulations. Your fucking files are all encoded’

These spam emails contains infected executable file which is J-Ransomware.exe or Microsoft Word document which contains corrupted macros that is used to infiltrate your computer. Nowadays, cyber criminals use social engineering tricks to lure people into opening spam emails that often use names of banks, government institutions and other well-known groups. It can also spread through obfuscated programs, or torrent updates, peer-to-peer networks and file sharing sites.
