How to remove Horsia Ransomware and decrypt .oblivion, .horsia@airmail.cc or .decryptsairmail.cc files

Horsia is another version of a "Scarab Family" group, which consist of similar ransomware viruses. For victims, an infiltration by these viruses may lead to loss of all data files on PC, because like another ransomware threats, both Horsia or Oblivion code all files with .doc, .xls, .pdf, .mp3, .wav, .mdb and many others files with another extension. After penetration, all coded files become unreadable and unavailable for editing. Besides, scammers, create files with ransom demands where they promise to decrypt files, after payloads in BTC. We argue to not pay them because all cybercriminals can lie easily.
