Description
Your documents have turned into unreadable junk and a ransom note is sitting next to them. If Apocalypse did it, hold off on paying. Avast ships a free decryptor for this family, and a wizard walks you through the whole recovery, no knowledge of cryptography required.
Apocalypse typically gets in by brute-forcing weak passwords on Windows servers with Remote Desktop left open, then encrypts files across fixed, removable and network drives while skipping system files such as EXE, DLL and SYS. This tool is built for exactly that encryption: you just point it at the locations to decrypt and it does the rest.
Step-by-step wizard: It starts at a welcome page and tells you what to do on each screen, with no command line or config files involved.
Pick your own locations: Add the affected folders or drives to a list and decrypt several places in one run instead of repeating it per directory.
Single file, no install: The download is one exe that runs on double-click and installs nothing, which is handy on a machine that is already in trouble.
VM build available: Avast also offers a variant for virtual machines; the standard build is the one hosted here.
