How to Decrypt Encrypted Files

Our computer being compromised by ransomware is one of the worst things that can happen to us. These malicious programs are capable of encrypting access to all our documents. Decrypting such files is not a simple solution; even advanced users are not able to unlock the encrypted content. For this reason at NeoTeo we will give you some methods to decrypt encrypted files.

Some of the extensions that can be infected are: docx, dot, doc, txt, xls, xlsx, xlsm, 7z, zip, rar, jpeg, jpg, bmp, pdf, pptx, pps, ppt, xla, xlsb, xltm, xlt, xml, odt, odb, csv, rtf, blend, css, cdr, raw, sqlite3, sqlite and sql, etc.

How to Decrypt a File with Emsisoft Decrypter for AutoLocky

Locky is one of the most common ransomware; it generally spreads as attachments (doc or .xls) in email messages. And if you download the file, run it and accept the permissions to view it, in a matter of seconds all your files will be infected with the .locky extension.

At this point we will have to download the program Emsisoft Decrypter for AutoLocky, to decrypt the AutoLocky encrypted files.

On the Emsisoft website, you will also find the Emergency Kit platform, to decrypt the files encrypted with: MRCR, CryptON, Damage, Cry9, Marlboro, Globe3, OpenToYou, GlobeImposter, OzozaLocker, FenixLocker, Locky and AutoLocky, among others. But only its commercial version is Anti-Ransomware.

With Emsisoft Decrypter for AutoLocky we can decrypt any type of encryption with the .locky extension. Its use is very simple: after scanning the environment, you will see all infected files in a pop-up window of the tool. There we recommend that you only decrypt one infected file, since there is a possibility that the found key is not correct and in this way you do not waste time.

If the password is correct and the selected file has been decrypted, just choose the 'C' drive and click on 'Decrypt', to restore all documents to their previous state. We remind you that the platform only scans the 'C' drive; if you need to scan another folder, you will have to add it from 'Add Folder'.

Recover Files Encrypted by Other Ransomware

If you have another type of ransomware and you don't want to pay for the commercial environment of Emsisoft, we will present you the services of Avast and AVG, to decrypt files attacked by different types of ransomware, safely and free of charge. On the Avast website, you will find tools to decrypt files compromised with the following forms of ransomware: Alcatraz Locker, Apocalypse, BadBlock Bart, Crypt888, CryptoMix (offline), CrySiS, Globe, HiddenTear, etc.

AVG also has some solutions to decrypt a ransomware attack and, in this way, decrypt the encrypted documents.

We hope that with the mentioned platforms you can decrypt the files encrypted by a malicious program and free yourself from a great mess.
