An important aspect to keep in mind is that the Windows Registry and Start Menu are not updated with new entries, and additional files are not created on the disk, leaving it clean after removal.
Both types of ransomware contain issues with how they handle victims' files, which has allowed Kaspersky researchers to find ways to undo the damage that these malware did.
The company’s message was as follows:
The goal of the effort our industry is currently taking against ransomware is not only to help victims recover their files, but also to make the ransomware's own work as annoying and costly to scammers as possible. The more families defeat us, the more difficult it will be for cyber criminals to benefit from their activity.
