Hello Carlos,

Unfortunately there is no information that could help you decrypt .locky files. The only way we know of, we have provided for you. We are sorry it didn’t work out for you.

In reply to Carlos Coli. Hi Carlos, The public key will unfortunately do you no good. You need the private key, which is what the ransom is for. Try restoring the original deleted files as per our guide if you don't want to pay any money to locky crooks.

hello, I´m having the same problem with the LOCKY ransomware. I was able to get the public key by regedit. Is there some way I can use this key to decrypt the files?

My stepmother hit the virus around March 14 2016, so it hitting a lot of computers now.. she did not get prompted for the ransom yet. but looks like all her word docs and excel docs have been replaced with the locky file extension. Advised her to shut down and stop using the computer as of today when I found this out reviewing her computer for why files was disappearing. No idea yet if I can recover her files but will try some of the recommendations. but regardless, I have to get the virus itself removed. She gets emails from many friends that like to pass around pictures and jokes.. seems one of them was the virus.
So everyone please be careful.

Hi Eric,

If Spyhunter found locky then it’s OK, as the virus process has been terminated. If you are still seeing the instructions you can go to the regedit and delete the registry lines responsible. Hit Win+R, type regedit. Use the search to find anything with the word locky in it, delete all files and strings that come up as a result.

Hi Ivan,

No ETA on a decrypter, one will likely never be discovered. If shadow copy didn’t survive you are out of luck.
