This virus encrypts your files, producing files ending with .wncry extension. The encryption prevents opening the files. It then produces a ransom note explaining what happened and how to pay to decrypt them.
When you double-click a .wncry file, Windows does not recognize the extension. It means the operating system does not have a default program for this file type.
Wana Decrypt0r 2.0 is dangerous. It takes files hostage to force payment to unlock them.
When a file’s extension changes to .WNCRY, it cannot open with regular programs. This signals the system may have WannaCry ransomware. Steps towards recovery are possible.
If infection persists after removing the ransomware, restore the Windows PC to Default Factory Settings. System Restore in Windows XP can also help.
