Description
File extensions turn into unfamiliar suffixes, documents and photos refuse to open, and a ransom note appears beside them: a familiar sight with CryptoMix-style ransomware. Avast offers a dedicated free decryptor, so you can try getting the files back before reaching for a ransom.
It is Avast's All-In-One decryption wizard again, version 1.0.840: it opens on a ransomware detection page, Next shows the list of supported decryptors, then you choose the locations to decrypt as prompted. The single program is about 2.8 MB and needs no installation. Avast files it under the CryptoMix entry of its decryption tools page, so to confirm you were hit by this one, go back to that page and compare the description.

No installation:One executable that runs straight after download.
