360 Ransomware Decryption Tool can help decrypt files that have been locked for free. Currently, it can decrypt over 80 types of ransomware, including WannaCry and Petya.

We were disappointed that it wasn't portable, something we feel every removal tool should be. It is generally known that it becomes easy for more aggressive malware to block applications like this from installing over time.

The interface is straightforward, like similar tools. Select the folders you want to scan and press "Scan." Pressing Cancel returns you to the main screen. We opted for scanning the UserMajorGeeks folder, which only has a handful of files and folders from a clean Windows installation, which took one minute, five seconds.

360 Ransomware Decryption Tool is one of those must-haves for a technician's toolbox. Scan times are reasonable, and very few tools claim to decrypt over 80 different ransomware strains. Odds are it won't decrypt all 80 every time; it's worth having.
