The .Sglh virus

The .Sglh virus is a file-encrypting infection that asks ransom from its victims in order to liberate their files from a secretly applied encryption. After the attack, the .Sglh virus creates a ransom message and places it on the screen of the infected computer and in the directories with encrypted files.

In comparison to other online threats that could steal your data, destroy your software or hack the entire OS, Ransomware infections are unlikely to cause any major system damage or destroy your data. Instead, they will simply prevent you from accessing some of the files that are present on your computer or they will block the screen.

.Sglh, .Vvoa, .Agho  in particular, are interested in encrypting your files and keeping them hostage until a ransom is paid for their decryption. This malware uses a very powerful encryption algorithm to make all of the documents on the affected computer unreadable. Only a special decryption key can reverse the encryption but that key is kept in secret by the hackers who are behind the ransomware. Normally, the hackers are ready to trade that key for a certain amount of money. That’s why they place a notification on the compromised computer and provide instructions and deadlines for the payment.

The .Sglh file encryption

The .Sglh file encryption is a complex algorithm of symbols which no software can recognize and read. The .Sglh file encryption code is only reversible with a special decryption key that is traded for a ransom.

Many online safety experts suggest that victims of Ransomware should always seek alternative methods to recover their data and avoiding the ransom payment at all costs. This is because the more victims decide to pay, the more online crooks will start using this type of internet money extorting as a quick way to make money. So, instead of giving your money to some anonymous cyber criminals, you can, for example, access our list of free decryptors or try to recover some of your records from system backups through our tips in the file-recovery section of the guide below. The most important thing is not to forget to remove .Sglh from the system before you try any file restoration methods because if you fail to do so, any new files that you restore or create may get encrypted again.
