Do you know what WannCrypto V6 Ransomware is?
WannCrypto V6 Ransomware is not a huge threat, so if it ever successfully enters your computer, you should not find any files locked on your system. Specialists say that it is very likely that this infection has only been developed for fun, or it is used for educational purposes only. Also, researchers suspect that it has been developed by a malicious software developer that lives in South Korea, which would explain why a ransom note this infection displays is not written in correct grammar. As mentioned, it does not seem that this infection is used as a tool to obtain money, so it should not be distributed actively, but if you ever find it installed on your system, make sure it is deleted right away no matter it has locked your files or not. We do not think that it will cause you many problems, but you should not let it stay because there is still a possibility that it will get an update. Also, this infection might allow its author to monitor what you do on your computer.
There are several symptoms showing that WannCrypto V6 Ransomware has not been released to obtain money from users. Unlike an ordinary working ransomware infection, it does not encrypt a single file on users’ computers, it does not have any malicious code in its source code, its buttons do not work, and it even has a default name of an application developed with Visual Basic – WindowsFormsApp4.exe. It does not mean that it does not have any features of a ransomware infection. As mentioned in the first paragraph of this report, this threat also displays a ransom note. It is located on a window it opens. The opened window has a padlock, a timer that does not move, two buttons (Data Recovery and Localbitcoin 4.0BTC purchase) that do not work, and a message. It informs the victim that his/her computer has been encrypted, and all files will be deleted from the computer after 72 hours. This is not going to happen, we can promise you that. In other words, you do not need to send Bitcoin to the author of WannCrypto V6 Ransomware to rescue your files, but if you have encountered it, you must remove it from your system ASAP.

WannCrypto V6 Ransomware is not spread actively. As mentioned, it is very likely that it has been developed for fun or just for some educational purposes. Therefore, we do not think that you will ever encounter it. Of course, if you somehow end up with it, you should eliminate it right away. We would also install security software on the system to prevent more harmful ransomware infections from entering the system if we were you. It would be best not to forget how these nasty infections are distributed too. Specialists say that a bunch of different malicious applications are spread via email attachments, so you should inspect every attachment before opening it or, even better, scan it with an antimalware scanner. Be careful with applications you download from the web too – malware often mimics decent software to make sure more users install it. Finally, it is very important that you install and keep an antimalware tool enabled because some infections, especially serious threats, are not that easy to prevent from entering computers.
WannCrypto V6 Ransomware must be removed even though it does not work as it should and has not locked any of your files. You will delete it by performing two simple steps: 1) closing the window opened on your screen and 2) deleting the executable (.exe) file that belongs to it. Alternatively, you can delete threats using an automated malware remover no matter what kind of infection you encounter. Of course, an antimalware tool must be 100% trustworthy.

WannCrypto V6 Ransomware is a new infection detected by specialists, but it is not distributed actively, so it is not very likely that you will ever find it installed on your computer.

You will close it with the click of a button. The removal of WannCrypto V6 Ransomware should not be complicated at all too.
