AVG Decryption Tool For BadBlock provides a remedy against another piece of potentially harmful ransomware that holds files hostage but does not rename them; instead, it flashes a red ransom note demanding payment.

BadBlock, at its core, displays most known characteristics similar to other ransomware - encrypting your files via RSA-2048 and AEC-CBC 256-bit encryption protocols, etc. But where it slightly differs is the fact that it hijacks your wallpaper and offers up its own with the specifics on how to pay the criminals - in a very annoying flaming red. Additionally, BadBlock destroys Shadow Volume Copies, rendering you unable to restore your files by accessing them from previous system restore points.
