I'll keep playing with it and edit with anything new worth mentioning.Įdit: I'm not sure if it's bugs or known and approved functionality, but between the automatic start menu and taskbar pinning, and the repeated taskbar re-pinning, I decided to get rid of it. Honestly the red flag I listed in the cons set me about checking reddit to see if there was anyone else complaining about it, but the browser seems pretty solid.

(And as of checking the press release, Avast is aware they dont support themes. Seeing some theme support would be a nice QoL change. My guess was that they would since it seems like this is more of a modification of the Chrome browser rather than a brand new browser, but alas they do not. EDIT: Google Chrome themes do not seem to work with the browser.

To prevent paralyzing the compromised PC entirely, AtomSilo has a list of folders, file names and file types that are left unencrypted which are listed here: This thread recursively searches the given logical drive and encrypts files found on it. How AtomSilo and LockFile Workīoth the AtomSilo and LockFile ransomware strains are very similar to each other and except for minor differences, this description covers both of them.ĪtomSilo ransomware searches local drives using a fixed drive list, whilst LockFile calls GetLogicalDriveStringsA() and processes all drives that are fixed drives.Ī separate thread is created for each drive in the list. This can include files with proprietary or unknown format, or with no format at all, such as text files. For that reason, some files may not be decrypted. Limitation of the decryptorĭuring the decryption process, the Avast AtomSilo decryptor relies on a known file format in order to verify that the file was successfully decrypted.

We prepared our very own free Avast decryptor for both the AtomSilo and LockFile strains. Slightly later, he also analyzed another ransomware strain, LockFile. Securing devices and data for 25 years, it is now in over 40 languages (more than any other antivirus). Avast is the most trusted antivirus globally, protecting almost 200 million PCs, Macs, and Androids. On Oct 17, 2021, Jiří Vinopal published information about a weakness in the AtomSilo ransomware and that it is possible to decrypt files without paying the ransom.
