Avast Ransomware Decryption Tool for Alcatraz Locker

Prevention is the best protection against ransomware, but if your files already got encrypted, there may still be a chance to recover them without paying the ransom. If your system is infected with the Alcatraz Locker, you can attempt to decrypt your data with Avast Ransomware Decryption Tool for Alcatraz Locker. It relies on advanced techniques to learn how your files have been encrypted and attempt to undo the damage. The best part is that the procedure doesn't involve too much input from the user's side. It only takes a few seconds to prepare the utility, after which it will take care of everything else for you.

As its name suggests, the utility is designed specifically for data that's been encrypted by Alcatraz Locker. However, you can find other similar utilities from Avast, aimed at other forms of ransomware, like Apocalypse, TeslaCrypt, Jigsaw and many others. The software consists of a single file, which you have to download and run, so there is no need to install anything on your computer.

Preparing the software for a decryption job is quite easy. It guides you with clear and well-explained instructions, step by step, so you shouldn't encounter any difficulties, regardless of your experience level. It's set by default to decrypt all your storage drives, but you can aim it manually towards specific folders on your hard drive.

One important step in preparing the application is to provide it with an encrypted file, as well as the original, unencrypted version of the same file. As the tool suggests, you can look in your backup folders, email attachments or in a cloud folder for a clean version of a file. Its format or contents are not important, as long as it's the exact same file, in an encrypted and unencrypted state. This will help the software come up with its own algorithm for undoing the damage done to your files. If, somehow, you know the password to the encrypted files, you can have the tool decrypt all the data in a given folder or drive, so you don't have to do it manually on each file.

If your system got hit by the Alcatraz Locker ransomware, trying to rescue the data with Avast Ransomware Decryption Tool is a much better solution than paying money to strangers on the Internet.
