What is a .RRBB file?
A file that ends in .rrbb is a file that has been locked by a bad computer program called RRBB ransomware. This bad program changes your files by adding ".rrbb" to the end of their names. For example, if you had a file named "report.docx," the ransomware would change it to "report.docx.rrbb." Once this happens, you can't open or use your file like before because it's been encrypted, which means it's been locked in a way that you can't unlock it by yourself.
The only suggestion for trying to fix this problem is using something called System Restore. System Restore is a tool on your computer that can sometimes undo recent changes made to your computer, including some of the bad changes made by ransomware. However, it's important to know that System Restore might not always work to get your files back to normal.
RRBB ransomware is a type of harmful software that is similar to another bad program called STOP Djvu ransomware. Both of these programs work by locking your files, such as your pictures, videos, and documents, and then they ask you to pay money to unlock them. They also leave a note in your folders called _readme.txt with instructions on how you might get your files back, but following these instructions usually involves paying money, and there's no guarantee you'll get your files back even if you pay.
Your computer might have gotten infected with RRBB ransomware if you downloaded a program from the internet that looked safe but was actually harmful. Sometimes, bad programs are hidden inside other programs that seem okay, which is why it's really important to be careful about what you download and install on your computer.
If you want to learn more about how these bad programs work, you can look up information on STOP Djvu ransomware and its different versions.
