The Rapid V1 virus has been released with a new strain that encrypts target user data with the .no_more_ransom extension. This new version shows that the criminals behind it are interested in its continued development. Our article provides an overview of the virus operations and it also may be helpful in attempting to remove the virus.

Detection Tool
See If Your System Has Been Affected by Rapid V1 virus
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.
Rapid v1 Virus – Update November 2018
November 2018 brings a newer variant of the Rapid v1 Virus to the cybersecurity sphere. The following ransom note is the updated version for Rapid v1 Virus:
As you can see above, the note remains almost the same, but offers two email addresses for contacting the cybercriminals, instead of one. These two emails are the following:
With that the other parts of the Rapid v1 Virus remain more or less the same. If anything new arises related to the ransomware, this article will get duly updated.
Rapid v1 Virus – Distribution Ways
A new release of the Rapid v1 virus shows that there is continued interest in spreading this particular ransomware. The newly devised strains use the most common methods as the earlier releases.
One of the most popular distribution methods is the coordination of SPAM messages. They are designed to appear as legitimate notifications that are regularly received by computer users. The virus files can be either attached directly or linked in the body contents.
A similar strategy is to create fake web pages that can coerce the users into thinking that they have accessed a legitimate vendor site or download portal. These two methods are commonly used to spread malicious payloads. A common form is inclusion of malicious macros in documents of various types: rich text documents, presentations, spreadsheets and databases. Once they are opened by the users a notification prompt will pop-up asking them to enable the built-in content. If this is done the virus infection will begin. The other payload mechanism is the construction of a virus setup file — this is done by taking the real application installers of well-known software and manipulating them with the Rapid v1 code. The criminals typically choose popular choices — from creativity suites to system utilities.
All kinds of scripts can be used to aid the infections — banners, pop-ups and ads.
Rapid v1 Virus – In-Depth Analysis
The Rapid v1 attacks that utilize the .no_more_ransom extension represent an updated release of the same ransomware family. It is very likely that the same common model of infection is followed. This prescribes that the first actions will feature a data collection component. It can scan the infected system for the presence of information that can be of use to the hackers. This module can harvest personal data about the victims which can be used to expose their identity. Other data that is harvested includes campaign metrics that can optimize the ongoing attacks by hijacking user settings, operating system values and a list of the installed hardware components.
This information can then be processed by Rapid v1 virus’s stealth protection — a module that has the ability to scan the system for any applications or services that can interfere with the correct execution of the threat. This part of the engine can bypass or altogether delete anti-virus programs, sandbox environments and virtual machine hosts.
Following the successful infiltration of the hosts a variety of different operating system changes can follow. A dangerous modification is the change of Windows Registry entries. When they affect the operating system overall performance will suffer. And when strings belonging to user-installed software are changed then certain functions may not be accessible.
The associated Rapid v1 virus infection engine can identify and delete Shadow Volume Copies and System Restore Data. This means that the victims will need to resort to the use of a quality restore solution.
Following this a Trojan component can be started. A typical case would be the creation of an encrypted connection to a hacker-controlled server. It allows the criminals to spy on the victims in real-time, take over control of their computers and deploy other threats as prescribed.
The Rapid v1 virus and its .no_more_ransom extension variant is configured on a modular framework which allows criminals to further customize the threats.
Rapid v1 Virus — Encryption
Once all prior components have complete the associated ransomware component will be launched. It uses a built-in list of target file type extensions which typically processes the following data:
Archives
Documents
Databases
Music
Images
Videos
The processed files will be renamed with the .no_more_ransom extension. The ransomware note may have different names, one of the captured versions contains the following message:
Hello, dear friend! All your files have been ENCRYPTED Do you really want to restore your files? Write to our email – [email protected] and tell us your unique ID-

4. Try to Restore files encrypted by Rapid V1 virus
Try to Restore Files Encrypted by Rapid V1 virus
Ransomware infections and Rapid V1 virus 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:

Je pense avoir chopé la dernière version….
En revanche aucun moyen d’installer spyhunter….Je peux l’installer en mode sans échec ou pas ?
Merci d’avance
Hi Semy,
SpyHunter’s installation will only work in normal mode, so for the automatic removal to work, please boot back into normal mode from Safe Boot.
Hola,
el pasado 9 de enero de 2019 fue atacado mi pc y me encriptaron los archivos, la extensión de los archivos es “*.no_more_ransom”.
En las carpetas dejaron un fichero llamador “How Recovery Files.txt” con el siguiente texto:
Hello, dear friend!
All your files have been ENCRYPTED
Do you really want to restore your files?
Write to our email – [email protected] …………
El programa Spyhunter 5 no me ha detectado nada extraño en el sistema.
La última copia de seguridad es de hace 2 meses.
¿Cómo podría desencriptar los archivos?
Gracias de antemano
Me paso lo mismos. No he encontrado solucion.
