The ShadeDecryptor tool for defending against Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Shade

Download the ShadeDecryptor tool

The Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Shade malware encrypts the files on the user's computer and makes them inaccessible. Using the ShadeDecryptor tool, you can try to decrypt files with the following extensions: 

• xtbl
• breaking_bad
• ytbl
• heisenberg

The tool searches for the decryption key in its database. If the key is found in the database, the files are decrypted. If the key is not in the databases, the tool sends a request to the server for additional keys. This requires Internet access. 

To avoid infection:

• Download and install Kaspersky Internet Security, which protects your PC against file-encrypting and screen-locking malware.
• Follow the instructions in this article.
