Emsisoft Decrypter for PClock

Emsisoft Decrypter for PClock is a lightweight piece of software designed to help you decode files that are locked down by PClock ransomware.

PClock is a Cryptolocker ransomware copycat that is capable of encrypting important files on your computer using the RC4 algorithm. While the ransom note is almost identical with that of Cryptolocker, there are some notable differences. For starters, the virus prompts users to turn off their antivirus to prevent files from being deleted and hence, become unrecoverable.

A further distinction is that PClock usually infiltrates your computer via infected torrent downloads, so you should be careful when looking for movies or games, particularly if they are pirated files. Once in your system, the malware targets distinct system registry keys and begins to lock files that it is designed to target.

It is important to note that unlike other ransomware, PClock targets over 2,500 file extensions. There is a good chance that you might not be able to use some of the applications you have installed on your computer.

In spite of its scary behavior, you should know that the ransomware is not as powerful as it claims and, most importantly, it does not damage or corrupt the files it infects. Using the tool is as simple as it looks, meaning that you can specify the location of the volume or directories that are encrypted and then hit the Decrypt button.

Depending on how many files it managed to target, the operation can take some time. On a side note, in case your files are encrypted by another ransomware kit, then the app displays a notice in this sense when you attempt to launch it.

Since the ransom is not too big, you might be tempted to pay it off and put this unpleasant situation behind. Emsisoft Decrypter for PClock provides you with an option to recover your data and avoid being a victim of ransomware.
