What is a BLOWER File Type?
Blower ranomware renames important standard files for the victim with a .blower extension. It usually consists of documents, images, videos and backup files, such as .MOV files, .PDF, .DOCX and .XLSX.
The purpose of a ransom is to take your files hostage and force you to pay the guilty party to unlock your files. It can be inserted into your computer using an executable file disguised as another type of file. It can act as an attachment to an e-mail, a file downloaded from d&apos, a web site, d&apos, a message received by l&apos, intermediary d&apos, a social network or d&apos, a file included in a program, installation.
Once started, the executable file starts to scramble your files, rename them with the' extension.blower, and encrypt them. The virus generates a .TXT (_ readme.txt) ransom note informing you of the takeover and what you need to do to get your files back.
BLOWER became predominant in early 2019 and is similar to .LOCKY and .WALLET files.
There are currently no programs available to efficiently restore your files. If you have a backup of your files, you can perform a system restore.
