Azor ransomware is designed to encrypt your personal files and demand bitcoin to recover the files. The demand varies on different versions of the Azor ransomware.
Azor ransomware encrypts files on your computer and adds a string of unique characters to the extension of the encrypted files. For example, image.jpg becomes image.jpg.Azor
The decrypt text-file with instructions is placed on the Windows desktop: !read_me!.txt

In most cases, it is not possible to recover the files encrypted by Azor ransomware without the intervention of the Ransomware developers. The only way to recover files infected by Azor ransomware is to pay the ransomware developers. I do not recommend paying for the Azor ransomware, instead, make sure you have a valid FULL back-up of Windows and restore it immediately.
The developers of Azor ransomware offer support chat for victims on the payment page.
I’m not going to bore you with removal instructions that do not work. There is a lot of information on the Internet about how to get your files back that is encrypted by the Azor ransomware, but they do not work. For example, system restore, shadow copies, boot in windows recovery mode etc, these instructions do not work.
It’s a waste of time and valuable money. Most likely you need to buy a malware removal tool, which is useless in the Azor ransomware to personal restore files, it might remove the payload (the file that encrypted your files).
Ransomware is specifically designed to prevent users from restoring files using windows recovery, system restore, shadow copies. The only thing I recommend is to read my article: What you should do when you are infected with ransomware. The article includes a FREE malware removal tool to remove the payload of the Azor ransomware and instructions on how to proceed after the Azor ransomware infection.
