How to De-Crypt Infected Files from Virus
Cleared an infection a few weeks ago
Now have found I can't open some files like documents etc When I try it asks for ASCII info and when tried to open, there are lots of weird characters All the infected files are dated 12 May 2014 Just wondered if there is a way to decrypt them ? Checked the registry and there are entries relating to CRYPTLIST - I found these after checking out a YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2sUQFME0bE I guess this will have to be cleared up somehow, but am concerned that these infected files are beyond help..... Thanks

Hello leachim,
I assume the system has a CryptoLocker infection. As such, only the malware scum who infected the system have the key to unencrypt the files. Currently the FBI or any other agency/vendor has not come up with the means to decrypt them. Which means yes, they are no longer accessible.
