> [@zahoor\_islam](#): > > AGHO Is it some variation of a Norton Ghost file i.e. ‘gho’? Failing that, there are utilities that can identify filetype through the file alone and without the file extension. Perhaps, on of those utilities might also be able to rename the file extension according to what it is actually defined as in the file itself? Have you tried to rename a file of which you know the type? Perhaps that you know that a certain file is a pdf even though it has the agho file extension. Can you rename that and open it or is the file encrypted? ---

I can only rename the files and also remove the .AGHO extension but the files are still not opening. for example: I rename a pdf file (myfile.pdf.agho to myfile.pdf) but pdf reader is not opening it.It says file is corrupted. ---

yeah, same here. My brother’s laptop just got the same problem (.agho). I think it’s ransomware because there is readme file on almost every folder that tell us to buy some software app to decrypt those files, and the price is over $900. ---

It’s most probably a ransomware. I myself fall victim of it a few months ago. Each file of two drives of my pc had .Lime extension (for example: abc.jpg.Lime ) and couldn’t be opened. Then I searched the internet and became sure that it was a .Lime ransomware. Being afraid of it infecting the whole computer I immediately formatted the two drives that got infected. I was helpless and lost around 250 GB of data in the process. I feel extremely sorry for you but most likely you have to accept the consequences. Next time please turn on ‘controlled folder access’ settings in the windows defender. This settings was specially designed for ransomware protection. ---
