Bonjour,

New CryptoTorLocker2015 Ransomware discovered and easily decrypted

With that said, for those who are infected with CryptoTorLocker2015, you can easily decrypt your files by downloading and running Nathan Scott's decrypter. It should be noted that some anti-virus programs are detecting this infection based on its CryptoTorLocker2015 name and as that same string is used in the decrypter, some AV programs may detect it as malicious. This is a false positive, but if you are concerned about the safety of the decryption tool, you can always copy your encrypted data to a virtual machine and run the decrypter from there.

The decrypter can be downloaded from this link: http://ransomwareanalysis.com/CT2015_Decrypter.zip

Once you start the decrypter, select a folder to scan and any encrypted files will be decrypted. When using the tool, it is suggested that you select the root of the drive such as C:\ and let the decrypter recursively scan your entire drive. If you are finding that some files, most likely shortcuts, are not properly being decrypted, you should run the program with Administrator privileges.
