Emsisoft Decryptor for Ransomwared

When it comes to crypto-malware, prevention is the best protection method. However, if you become a victim of ransomware, don’t' rush into fulfilling the ransom demands of the cyber criminals. Instead, try to look for a dedicated decryption tool that can unlock your files, as many security companies develop such application and usually offer them for free. For example, Emsisoft created a plethora of decryptors that are both efficient and easy to use. One of them is the Emsisoft Decryptor for Ransomwared.

Security experts first noticed the presence of the Ransomwared strain at the beginning of 2020. The ransowmare encrypts various types of files on the affected computer using the DES algorithm and appends the ".ransomwared" extension to file names. Unlike the majority of ransomware families, this particular one requests for explicit pictures to be sent to an email address in exchange for the decryption key.    

The Emsisoft Decryptor for Ransomwared is designed to help you unlock the encrypted files without having to pay the requested ransom. Using it is very easy, as the one-window interface offers access to all its features with just a click.

Before using the decryptor, you should keep in mind that it doesn’t remove the malware itself but just decrypts the affected files, allowing you to regain access to their content. It is advisable that you quarantine the ransomware using a reliable security solution before using the decryptor, or else it might lock you out of your files once again.

Emsisoft Decryptor for Ransomwared enables you to choose the locations to analyze in order to find “ransomwared” files. Aside from all the drives that are connected to your computer, which are automatically added, you can add as many paths as you want to the list.

Since the application offers no guarantee that the files will be 100% identical to the originals, it is recommended that you allow the decryptor to preserve the encrypted files and not erase them completely.

Paying up the ransom, in whatever form it is requested, is not necessarily the best approach when you are a victim of ransomware but more of a solution of last resort. Trying out a decryptor and isolating the malware are the two things you should first try. The success is not guaranteed but it is worth a try.
