You can't decrypt sadly. Learn your lesson, take backups next time. I'd just nuke and reinstall at this point.

I'm afraid the only way to get rid of ransomware is formatting your computer. I wouldn't advise paying the ransom because there's no guarantee they'll actually unlock your data anyway. In the future make sure you keep backups of important data...

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

.pahd files are encrypted files from the ransomware family djvu.theres probably a txt file somewhere called readme that's not encrypted, correct?

If you don't have a backup, and have files you care about that are encrypted, you can probably get those files back for about 500$, possible 1000$ if it's been a bit since they were encrypted.

 

I don't suggest you pay for the files back, but if you need to get them back, you can.

Then do a full wipe and reinstall of windows, after backing up the important files. Make sure that you don't restore any exe files, those might just restart the problem.

I could use some help with this!

There are likely decryptors out there for pahd since it's a STOP/DJVU variant it's just a matter of finding the right one.

A bit of googling returned no results hence my comment. But if OP can find one then more power to them.

Really? I found a couple sites with links to download stuff to decrypt (didn't click though since they are all recent) but one at least gave information on the malware. It's not a guarantee of course by any means but at this point they don't have much else to lose 🙂
