    You did...but we prefer that you do all the requested scans and then attach them.

    For MGtools, did you save MGtools.exe to C:\MGtools.exe as requested. It must be save to the root folder of your Windows boot drive. Do not save it anywhere else and do not attempt to Run or Open it from the download link. You must save it to your PC. Please try again and make sure you follow the instructions exactly. If you get any error messages, see if it is one of the ones that are explained on the download page. If the error is not on the download page, give us the exact word for word message.


    Please click Start, Run, and enter cmd and click OK. This will open a command prompt window. Enter the below commands at the command prompt each followed by the enter key. The bold black are commands. The red is merely informational.

    cd \MGtools <-- this changes to the MGtools folder and the prompt should change to C:\MGtools>
    GetRunKey <-- this will try to run all one scan from MGtools. Tell me what error messages, if any, you see.
    ShowNew <-- this will try to run all another scan from MGtools. Tell me what error messages, if any, you see.

    Yes I did install in the root of C as specified and then ran the exe. I am repeating that procedure and will reply when the program finishes.

    Then if Trend Micro didn't give you a decryption tool, your only option is to restore from a back up or reinstall. You can post in the software forum for advice on how to do either.

    Just an FYI, I think this site might be better as it includes all of the tools available on the Trend Micro site along with many others. And this site is most likely to post a tool for .banta ransomeware as soon as one is developed...……..
