I am still having the same problem as you as I posted above - At this point there is no solution yet if the decrypter doesn't find the key file. I am still curious what key file the Decrypter is looking for(What the name is), as I want to manually search for it(Or even try to recover a deleted file on my hard drive if that is the problem, but it appears to be unknown. Dr Web must know as they created the decrypt file - strange thing is, their web site doesn't even mention that decrypt program that they made.

Default Re-introduce Virus

I am considering re-introducing the virus into my machine to see if the Dr.Web fix would work then. I had already cleaned my machine before I tried the fix and my uninfected data is backed up. Anyone know how to re-introduce a virus or is this just crazy talk ?

Thanks all for the work on this effort !!

I don't think you'd want to do that, because the data written to the registry (user registry by the sounds of it) that the key is based on may likely be different on the second infection, and the tool will not be able to decrypt the original files anyway.

Good point and thank you ! I hate this stupid virus ..... I don't enjoy other viruses but the really insidious part is the inability to fix the files even after cleansing or restoring the machine.
