1. Avast Free Ransomware Decryption Tools

Solutions designed to defeat different types of ransomware.

Step-by-step guide deals with 21 forms of ransomware More often updated.

Not all ransomware encrypts data in the same way, so security software vendors are forced to create specific solutions as new threats emerge. As of this writing, Avast security experts have developed free ransomware decryption tools to handle 21 different types of file-blocking ransomware.

To help you decide which one you need, Avast has provided a detailed description of how each form of ransomware works, which extension you look at the encrypted files and an example of the type of message the virus creators have prepared for their victims.

Once you have downloaded the appropriate tool, it will guide you through the process of destroying the ransomware without paying the criminals. You will need to provide two versions of the same file, an encrypted one and the original one.

This will be easiest if you made a backup before the infection, but Avast also suggests places where you can find unaffected original files. The tool will then compare them and use the results to determine the password…

2. Trend Micro Ransomware File Decryptor.

One download that can defeat 27 types of ransomware.

All tools provided in one download regular updates Decrypt may be incomplete.

Trend Micro Ransomware File Decryptor is regularly updated with new ransomware definitions, and as of this writing, it can release files blocked by 27 different ransomware types and variants.

Unlike Avast, Trend Micro bundles all of its decryption tools into one package, but you still need to let it know what form of ransomware the site provides to help you identify your particular infection, as well as contact information for technical support if you’re unsure.

Once you do, provide a sample file for analysis and he’ll get to work. Decryption can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the type of encryption used.

The file decryption tool is not perfect – some forms of ransomware are particularly tricky and can only be partially decrypted – but the company is constantly working to improve it, and it’s a great tool to use in emergency situations.

3. Trend Micro’s Unlock Screen Tools

Release a locked computer, even if you can’t access secure mode.

Can work outside of Windows. Regular updates. Do not decrypt files.

There are two Trend Micro Ransomware screen unlocking tools – one for PCs that are locked so you can enter normal mode, but you can access safe mode through the BIOS menu, and one for situations where both modes are locked.

The former can be downloaded directly to the infected computer in safe mode with network support. After installation, restart the computer in normal mode (with the screen locked) and tap [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [T] + [I] to find and remove the ransomware,

Another version of the tool should be downloaded using an uninfected computer and saved to a USB flash drive. You can then use it to boot the locked computer. Once launched, the unlocker will run a scan, then remove any detected ransomware, freeing your computer.

Like Trend Micro’s File Decryptor, two versions of Screen Unlocker use regular updates to combat new forms of ransomware.

4. Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool

Comprehensive ransomware protection for your small business

Proactive protection against ransomware. You can undo malicious network activity

Ransomware on your home computer is bad enough, but an infection that blocks you from your business computers can be an absolute disaster. Your accounts, client data, client information, and work can be encrypted – and it can affect multiple computers on the same network.

Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool for Business is designed to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) protect their data from such a disaster. Like Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware, it is a preventative tool designed to prevent infections, not to decrypt files or unlock desktops.

Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool works successfully alongside your regular security package, monitoring network activity for anything that matches ransomware behavior. The threat database is stored on cloud servers, so updates are sent immediately to all users.
