Emsisoft site Has a Free Decrytor Tool you can try on the encrypted files & have helpful info on it etc.

from what I read if the files were locked with a Online Key, then you are Basically S.O.L. but with a offline key

the Free tool may help ?

yes that is what I found so far and not sure if they are online or offline. I will visit him over the weekend and will find out but was preparing in advance with softwares/tools I need.

thanks so much bro :)

This is why I do Image Back-UPS to a external Drive not hooked up to my PC so that you can
Nuke & Pave the infected Drive without having to start from Scratch/All Over.

Agreed...I backup/restore to an unconnected drive.In the business world, true backups are kept off-site.

This is why I subscribe to Malware bytes, (the multi PC paid version) if something gets by their stuff they fix it for me.

that is what I told him and that is what I do for my own pc and any pc I repair make them complete back image once its done so easy for me to fix next time :)

Yes I myself had this done a while back . I back up a lot of files and pics so only lost a few things. It is important to have external drive and back up files and folders. I tried many things no luck so just killed the drive then reinstalled Windows again just make sure to get you Key number from computer first. I used Kill Disk it is free to download and wipes drive did this twice then put Windows on then only started to put programs I used then slowly put stuff back on.
