Emsisoft Decryptor for STOP Djvu

The STOP Djvu ransomware can lock you out of your files by encrypting their content and rendering them unusable. You will notice that weird file extensions are appended to your regular files and a ransom note is displayed, asking for a payment to be made in exchange for the decryption key. However, paying up the requested sum of money does not guarantee your files will be fully restored so trying out any other solution to get them back is recommended.

The Emsisoft Decryptor for STOP Djvu is a simple utility that aims to help you unlock your files without too much hassle. It can recognize multiple variants of the ransomware, both old and new and successfully decrypts files that were encrypted using an offline key in Emsisoft’s possession. Alternatively, files locked using older variants of STOP Djvu (before August 2019) can be processed by the decryptor based on a file pair you submit to Emsisoft’s servers.

Working with Emsisoft Decryptor for STOP Djvu is intuitive. Its main window enables you to select the locations to analyze, populating the list with all the connected drives, while also giving you the freedom to add any custom path you want the decryptor to analyze.   Since the decryptor cannot offer any guarantee that the recovered files will be 100% identical to the original, it is advisable that you opt for preserving the encrypted files on your computer.

Once you are done going through all the configuration steps, all you have to do is press a button and the decryptor initiates the brute force attack to decrypt the affected files. Its activity is logged in the “Results” tab.

Emsisoft Decryptor for STOP Djvu can stop the aforementioned ransomware from running and unlock encrypted files but it doesn’t completely remove the malware from your computer. Keep in mind that decrypting the locked files and getting rid of the ransomware are two separate things. A reliable antivirus solution is required to detect the presence of the STOP/Djvu ransomware and block its actions for good.
