Roland Ransomware - How to remove

Roland ransomware is a computer virus that can completely ruin the system and make it practically unusable. As you can see, we categorize it as ransomware and that’s because the virus encrypts files stored on the hard drive, following by the request to pay a certain amount of money (ransom) to retrieve locked files.

Even though this infection is a new one in the market, it’s a successor of Djvu ransomware, so those two share some similarities. That makes it easier for us to analyze it and help our users to solve problems related to this particular infection.

So in case you were short on luck and got infected with Roland ransomware or just want to learn more about it – please continue reading the article. We will teach you how to get rid of the virus and restore locked files, as well as highlight some of the most significant features of Roland ransomware.

How Roland Ransomware Encrypts Files

First of all, you need to know that the developers of Roland ransomware use a forceful ’encryption so there is no easy way out. Once your files are locked, you will have a lot of problems if you want to retrieve them. Fortunately, Roland won’t touch any of your system files, so you will be able to continue using Windows. Apart from that, it is capable of encrypting most of the personal files stored on a hard drive, such as images, audio and video files, text documents, and so on.

When inside of a computer, Roland will automatically run a full scan of all files that are stored on your computer and decide what to encrypt. Encryption process starts immediately after that, and during this process, all your personal files will be marked with an extension “.roland” (that’s where the name of the infection comes from). After that, you will be no longer capable of opening or using your personal files in any other way.

Also, when your files are already encrypted, _readme.txt file will be placed on your desktop. It is a ransom note with all the information about your current situation and it goes like this:

Those crooks behind Roland wants you to pay $980 in order to receive a special decryption key that should allow you to decrypt your personal files. Plus, they offer a special “discount” – if you pay the ransom in the first 72 hours, the ransom will be cut in half and it will cost you only $490. However, that’s just a ’social and we highly recommend not to follow those instructions. No one can guarantee that you will retrieve your files even after paying the ransom. They want you to contact them via email [email protected] or [email protected] but you shall not do that. Instead of that, turn to alternative methods that will help you to completely eliminate Roland ransomware from your system.

How To Remove Roland Virus

There are two things you need to do to solve this problem – remove the virus itself and unlock files encrypted by it. For the first step we highly suggest scanning your system with Spyhunter. Either one of those programs should successfully detect and eliminate Roland infection. This needs to be done before trying to recover your files because if you do that while the virus is still on your system it can simply repeat the encryption process.

Now, when the virus is already gone, you can have a chance at retrieving your locked files. To do this, try performing system restore. This way you will turn your system back in time to the date when those files were not locked yet. However, if you do not have a valid copy of your hard drive, this will be not possible. In this case, you should scroll down below and follow our step-by-step instructions. If this is not helpful as well, feel free to contact us in the comments section below.
