Al-Namrood is a special fork of Apocalypse ransomware. It encrypts users' documents, photos and other files, then changes their filenames and suffix to .unavailable.
The affected file contains the original data in encrypted form and is not intended to be opened by the application that normally handles that file type. The .unavailable suffix is a marker used by the ransomware, rather than a format with its own normal software ecosystem.
Emsisoft Decrypter for Al-Namrood is a Microsoft Windows tool designed to recover files affected by this ransomware.
Do not try to open a .unavailable file directly with a regular document, image or media application. On Microsoft Windows, use Emsisoft Decrypter for Al-Namrood to attempt to decrypt the affected files.
If decryption succeeds, the recovered files can be opened with the applications that support their original file types.
A .unavailable file cannot be meaningfully converted while it remains encrypted. Use Emsisoft Decrypter for Al-Namrood to attempt recovery first.
After successful decryption, the recovered files can be saved or exported to another format using software that supports their original file types.
