What is Adr ransomware?

Adr ransomware was discovered by S!Ri. It encrypts and renames victims' files and creates a ransom message. Adr renames files by replacing filenames with a string of random characters and adding the ".adr" extension. For example, "1.jpg" is renamed to "E=x1Mq=D.adr", "2.jpg" to "EoMuP4zdEFr.adr", and so on.

It creates the "DesktopDECRYPT_ME.TXT" file containing the ransom message in the "C:\Users\[Username]" folder. It appears that this ransom message should be named "DECRYPT_ME.TXT" and placed on the desktop (it is likely that developers of Adr ransomware will fix this error in future).

Like most examples of this type of software, Omyweb collects browsing-related information. Due to the dubious techniques employed to distribute browser hijackers, they are also categorized as Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs).
