    Hi guys, just run into an issue with some nasty malware on a very old Dell Inspiron laptop.

    Seems like the guy already had an issue using ACDSee and it being a nasty bit of malware in the first place, but now everything important is a .onion file.

    Going through various references to this it seems to be related to the Dharma virus and in turn is quite painful to deal with. One of the stipulations is that the background got changed so the ransomer could be contacted. However blank background seems to have happened and no way to know or contact the ransomer.

    This is posing a bit of an issue, if anyone has any ideas on how to decrypt these files then I'm all ears, or eyes in the case of this forum :)

    (OP)
    Unfortunately the Rakhni Decryptor from Kaspersky didn't work :(

    Ah but it's a variant of Rannoh. Problem is now it needs an original file to compare to an encrypted file, which is kinda hard to do...
