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
- better_call_saul
- los_pollos
- da_vinci_code
- magic_software_syndicate
- windows10
- windows8
- no_more_ransom
- tyson
- crypted000007
- crypted000078
- dexter
- miami_california
- rsa3072
- decrypt_it
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 new Kaspersky applications, which will protect your computer against screen-locking and file-encrypting malware.
- Follow the recommendations on how to protect your PC against file-encrypting ransomware.
