Kaspersky XoristDecryptor

XoristDecryptor is a tiny and portable application developed by Kaspersky labs that detects and removes malware associated with the Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Xorist agent.

It is very simple to use even by people with no experience in antivirus solutions, since it automatizes the removal operation.

As installation is not necessary, you can drop the executable file somewhere on the HDD and click it to run.

It is also possible to save XoristDecryptor to a removable device, like a USB flash disk, in order to use it on any infected or suspicious machine.

It's important to take into account that the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and files are not left behind on the hard disk after removing the program.

The interface is based on a common window with an uncomplicated structure, where you can initialize the scanning procedure with the click of a button.

Before doing so, you may change parameters when it comes to the target drives (local, removable, network), as well as ask the tool to delete crypted files after decryption. Settings can be restored to their default values. Results show the scan duration, total processed items, decrypted files, and detected threats.

XoristDecryptor does not put a strain on system performance, since it requires a low quantity of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and finishes a scan job quickly, depending on the size of the target. No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the tool did not hang or crash. Thanks to its intuitive layout and overall simplicity, XoristDecryptor should please all users.
