Encrypted files
Recently some damage happened to a user account with lots of encrypted files (virus or something), and now the files aren't accessible, even with that account (which is the original account that encrypted the files in the first place). When trying to decrypt the files, all I get is 'access denied'.
There is a program, 'Advanced EFS data recovery' by Elcomsoft, which can recover the files, however it costs an arm and a leg and I'm wondering, if that program can recover the files then surely why can't I?
The program searched for a 'certificate' (it scanned the whole drive) with which to decrypt the data, I'm wondering, once I have this certificate to hand how I can decrypt the data manually with it?
This data is very important so any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
