Emsisoft Decryptor for NoWay

With the number of ransomware attacks doubling in the first half of 2021 compared to the same period of the previous year, it is no wonder that security companies strive to deliver both reliable antivirus solutions and dedicated ransomware decryption tools. While it is highly recommended to have a full-featured antivirus solution on your computer for prevention, a decryptor might be of great use if you discover that your system has already been infected.

The NoWay ransomware makes its way to a PC and starts encrypting files to block access to their contents. You should be able to recognize its presence by the extension that is appended to the encrypted files ([base64].noway).

Right next to the encrypted files, you should look for the ransom note, which provides payment instructions. As habitual, the ransom demanded by the cybercriminals is in Bitcoins to make it untraceable.

Emsisoft is the first to respond to the NoWay ransomware, providing a simple software utility that can unlock previously encrypted files having the “.noway” extension.

The application requires no installation and is extremely easy to use, The main window displays the available drives, while also allowing you to add new custom locations to the scan list.

With the push of a button, the decryption process begins. You get to see the results in the dedicated tab, where you get to monitor the application’s progress and see each file that has been decrypted.

Emsisoft Decryptor for NoWay provides a quick and easy method to try to unlock the files that have been infected by the NoWay ransomware. Nevertheless, keep in mind that since the ransomware does not save any details about the files it encrypts, the decryption tool cannot guarantee that the recovered data is identical to the original data. That is why it is best to backup the encrypted files, as suggested by the decryptor’s options.
