Trend Micro has released free tools—Trend Micro Crypto-Ransomware File Decryptor Tool and Trend Micro Lock Screen Ransomware Tool–to help users and organizations fight back against the dangers that ransomware pose. Systems affected with certain crypto-ransomware variants like TeslaCrypt and CryptXXX can use the File Decryptor Tool to retrieve their files that were ‘held hostage’ by these threats. If your system is infected with ransomware that has a lock-screen feature, our Lock Screen Ransomware Tool will help users  gain access to their screen even though the malware is blocking normal and safe mode with networking. One of the primary goals of these tools is to prevent affected users and businesses from succumbing to the pressure and the demands of paying the ransom just to retrieve their confidential data.
