What is FindZip Ransomware?

How to Use Avast Decryption Tool

Once you know how to set things up, launching the Avast tool is pretty straightforward. The cool thing about it? It's a portable app! That means no installation needed and it won't leave any traces behind after you decrypt your files.

Selecting Your Files

You'll need to choose where your encrypted files are located. A good first step is to test the tool by uploading one encrypted file along with its original version. You can usually find those originals in backup disks, email folders, or Media directories—just make sure those backup files haven't been changed since you made them!

The Decryption Process

After you've got everything set up, just kick off the decryption process and hang tight. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

A Quick Reminder About Ransomware

Keep in mind that if you're affected by FindZip, this ransomware uses ZIP encryption which makes it impossible for hackers to decrypt your files after they lock them up. Why? Because they don't upload the key needed for decryption anywhere—it stays local on your machine. So paying them won't help!
