Emsisoft Decrypter for CryptInfinite

Emsisoft Decrypter for CryptInfinite is a lightweight piece of software designed to help you decode and thus, recover files that have been hijacked by  CryptInfinite ransomware.

CryptInfinite also known as DecryptorMax is a widespread type of ransomware that usually spreads through corrupt email attachments that come in the form of resumes for job applications. Users who are curious to read the data within the fake resumes, soon regret it as the malware starts infecting documents, photos and other critical files you store on the local drives.

You can easily recognize that you are dealing with CryptInfinite, as you are no longer able to open the files that feature the CRINF extension. Moreover, the malware is also known to leave a note that includes the instructions on how to pay to recover your data in every directory with encrypted files.

Perhaps the most difficult part of using this tool to recover your data stems from the fact that you are required to use a clean copy along with its infected counterpart to get the master key password. Once you find a clean copy – in your email clients, cloud or external storage locations – you can drag and drop both over the tool and be patient.

On a side note, the application may ask you more details on the ransomware, such as the email address provided within the ransom note. Afterwards, you need to sit back and wait, as the attempt to brute-force the key can take some time.

You should know that the ransomware deletes the shadow volume copies from your system, so you need to find a clean file in another location. Unfortunately, the 24-hour deadline can determine some users to fall for the scam, especially as the hackers mention that the data can be permanently lost if there is any attempt to tamper with the infected files.

In spite of the fact that you may feel tempted to pay off the ransom, you should not forget that this does not automatically mean you can get your data back. If you managed to get a copy of the original file, then you can consider using Emsisoft Decrypter for CryptInfinite to recover your files.
