This article has been created in ordescr to help you by explaining how to remove Globe virus virus from your computer system and how to restore .frmvrlr2017 encrypted files.
A new iteration of the Globe malware family has been detected. The new Globe Virus follows the typical infection mechanisms of the malware family and uses the .frmvrlr2017 extension to mark the processed files.
Threat Summary
Name
Globe
Type
Ransomware, Cryptovirus
Short Description
The main goal of the Globe virus is to encrypt sensitive user files and extort the victims for a ransom fee payment.
Symptoms
The Globe virus component processes target files and renames them with the .frmvrlr2017 extension.
Windows Data Recovery by Stellar Phoenix Notice! This product scans your drive sectors to recover lost files and it may not recover 100% of the encrypted files, but only few of them, depending on the situation and whether or not you have reformatted your drive.
Globe virus – Infection Process
The latest Globe virus sample is delivered through the usual delivery tactics that are common to the malware family. It mainly uses spam email messages that utilize social engineering tricks. The hackers receive messages that contain links or files that pose as files of user interest. They can take various forms including documents that may appear as legitimate content: invoices, letters, contracts and etc. Once they are opened a notification appears that asks the victims to run the built-in scripts. If this is done the Glove virus infection follows. A related trick is to integrate the malware code into software installers. They are made by taking the legitimate setup files from the vendors official sites and modifying them to include the virus sample. Most often the chosen payloads are popular free or trial versions of software and games.
Various hacker-controlled sites and malware scripts can be used as an alternative delivery mechanism. They can constitute fake download portals, banners, ads and redirect scripts. Related options include also file-sharing networks such as BitTorrent trackers where pirate software is usually offered.
The hackers behind the Globe virus can also take advantage of browser hijackers that represent malware browser plugins made for the most popular web browsers: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge.
Globe virus – Analysis and Activity
The Globe virus that is identified with the .frmvrlr2017 extension is a new sample descendant from the Globe malware family. It appears that an unknown hacker or criminal collective has taken the original code and has customized it in a new way. The full security analysis is not yet complete but we assume that it follows the same behavior patterns as previous iterations.
Newer versions of the threat may impose a stealth protection feature that can bypass security software and various system countermeasures. Examples include anti-virus products, sandbox environments, debug programs and virtual machine hosts. The Globe virus engine can be programmed to bypass or entirely delete them. Advanced strains can remove themselves if they are unable to do so in order to evade detection.
The next component that can be launched is the information gathering one that can be used to gather important data. It is usually classified into two main groups. The first one is made up of anonymous data that mainly concerns the hardware components and operating system configuration values. The second one contains mainly personal data. It is made up by harvesting information that can identify the victim’s identity: name, location, address, age, interests, passwords and account credentials.
Follow-up malware actions can include system changes such as modifications to the Windows Registry. As a result some services and applications can stop working and serious performance issues can be caused. Modifications to the Windows Volume Manager can also give access to removable storage devices and network shares. If a network connection with the hacker-controlled servers can allow the criminals to retrieve files before they are encrypted by the ransomware engine. It can also deliver additional malware. The Globe virus can also install itself in a system folder under a false name.
Globe virus — Encryption Process
Once all components have finished execution the ransomware engine is started. Like previous Globe malware family samples it processes target files with a strong cipher (AES and RSA). Usually the target user data consists of the following file types:
Backups
Documents
Images
Videos
Music
Archives
Once this is done all processed files receive the .frmvrlr2017 extension. A ransomware note is generated as an application frame which is the mechanism used by some of the advanced ransomware strains. The idea behind it is that the instance will block normal user interactions with the computer until the virus is completely removed from the instance. It reads a message in Turkish that follows the usual template used by the malware engine which blackmails the victims for a ransom fee.

4. Try to Restore files encrypted by Globe
Try to Restore Files Encrypted by Globe
Ransomware infections and Globe aim to encrypt your files using an encryption algorithm which may be very difficult to decrypt. This is why we have suggested several alternative methods that may help you go around direct decryption and try to restore your files. Bear in mind that these methods may not be 100% effective but may also help you a little or a lot in different situations.
Method 1: Scanning your drive’s sectors by using Data Recovery software. Another method for restoring your files is by trying to bring back your files via data recovery software. Here are some suggestions for preferred data recovery software solutions:
Method 2: Trying Kaspersky and EmsiSoft’s decryptors. If the first method does not work, we suggest trying to use decryptors for other ransomware viruses, in case your virus is a variant of them. The two primary developers of decryptors are Kaspersky and EmsiSoft, links to which we have provided below:
To restore your data in case you have backup set up, it is important to check for Volume Shadow Copies, if ransomware has not deleted them, in Windows using the below software:
Method 4: Finding the decryption key while the cryptovirus sends it over a network via a sniffing tool.
Another way to decrypt the files is by using a Network Sniffer to get the encryption key, while files are encrypted on your system. A Network Sniffer is a program and/or device monitoring data traveling over a network, such as its internet traffic and internet packets. If you have a sniffer set before the attack happened you might get information about the decryption key. See how-to instructions below:
