casondave Posted March 30, 2019 ID:1305943 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hi, I have malwarebytes installed but it was off and my PC just got smoked by PHOBOS ...... So it won't boot and I'm looking at the drive in DOS in Win 7 Ultimate in recovery mode and the directory structure is fine but all the files are encrypted of course ....... I'll just reinstall when I can but can I pull the drive and toss it on another PC and then run an un-encryptor on the drive to get some files back? Will Malwarebytes do that or do i have to buy some mystery Phobos fixer off the web like SpyHunter 5 or something like that ? If so what product is the best one to get?
