Unfortunately the program isn't working for me either- when I run it says "Error . Unable to find first key. PC is not infected." I got the virus on 12/5/08 and all of my doc, jpgs, and xls files were corrupted. I have previously deleted the virus, but still need to get the corrupted files back.

Does this particular virus have a specific name, as the program doesn't seem to be recognizing it on my computer and can't find any info on the web about the name of the virus - its not called FileError_22001 although that is the error we see.



Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

THANK YOU TO WHO EVER FOUND THIS FIX OUT!

Initially it found no errors under my user name and desktop. I then tried to find the folder it was looking for and couldn't locate it under my name either so,,, if the fix program doesn't find anything under your user name and you use XP with multiple users, go into each user and try to run it. Who ever initially contracted the virus will have the folder needed to decrypt the files. I ran it under each persons name on my XP and finally found the user who had the folders.

Try that and good luck it really restored my files and now I AM GOING TO BACK THEM ALL UP!!!

THANKS

Unforunately I couldn't get it to work on the only other login I have on my computer eith. Anybody have any other ideas about where the key could be located or a name of the file, or another workaround. I've spent quite a bit of time on the Dr Web website looking for info about the tool they created, and the strange thing is there is no metion of the virus(Still doesn't appear to have a name or the tool they created - The virus name they refer to on the decrypter doesn't appear on the web. Also, there is no mention of the tool either - you would think they would want some credit for it.

I might try contacting them directly and see if they can help(Noy sure how that will go seeing they are a Russian company), but any other ideas would be appreciated .

I really need to fgiure out a way to make it work, and it seems I am so close
