Bitcoinrush@imail.com Ransomware Removal Guide

Just one look at the name of this program is enough to tell you are dealing with a ransomware application. Bitcoinrush@imail.com Ransomware will pop up into your screen when you expect it the least, and it will block you from opening your files. Your files will be encrypted with the RSA-2048 key, and the infection will require you to contact its creators for the decryption key. Of course, you should do nothing of the kind. The thing you have to do is remove Bitcoinrush@imail.com Ransomware from the system immediately, and for that, you have opened the right page. Scroll down to the bottom of this description for the manual removal instructions.

This infection is based on the CrySIS Ransomware engine, and it is practically identical to Legioner_seven@aol.com Ransomware, Diablo_diablo2@aol.com Ransomware, Alex.vlasov@aol.com Ransomware, Meldonii@india.com Ransomware, and many other programs that come from the same family. However, it does not mean that all of these programs are created by the same people. The program in question could have been modified by hackers’ customers who bought the infection, as there are a lot of Ransomware-as-a-Service applications out there. So it would be hard to pinpoint just one distribution point or one source responsible for these infections.

Disregarding the distribution vector, the bottom line is that when this program enters a target computer, it unleashes the payload immediately. Once that happens, you can expect to see this extension everywhere: .id-B4500913.{Bitcoinrush@imail.com}.xtbl. Because of this extension, sometimes the ransomware programs from this group are called XTBL ransomware, but the naming of such programs depends on who analyzes them. So it is the best to look for information about the infection using the main keywords from its ransom note. That is the email address you have to use in order to contact the criminals behind the infection.

Unlike other infections in the group, this program displays a rather wordy ransom note:

Attention! Your computer has been attached by a virus-encoder!
All your files are now encrypted using cryptographically strong algorithm.
Without the original key recovery is impossible.
To get the decoder and the original key, you need to email us at bitcoinrush@aol.com

The email address should be enough for you to understand that these criminals collect ransom payments in bitcoins. It allows anonymous transactions, and it is rather hard to trace where the money goes and who is responsible for infecting you. Whatever you do, please refrain from paying the ransom fee. Even the email server might not be as reliable as it should be. There is even a line in the note that says “in case you do not receive a response from the first email address within 48 hours, please use this alternative email: bitcoinrush@imail.com.” This shows how shaky the scam is, and it is also possible for the alternative address to go down, too.

Thus, you should ignore the message and just remove Bitcoinrush@imail.com Ransomware from your system before the situation falls out of hand. Please follow the instructions below to get rid of this infection. If you think that manual removal is not for you, it is also possible to terminate the program with an automated antispyware tool. When you are done with that, you can easily transfer your backup files into your computer.
