Data Doctor 2010 - Combination Of Ransomware And Rogue

F-Secure introduces in their blog a pest that combines some elements of ransomware and rogueware. Trojan detected as DatCrypt encrypts Microsoft Office documents, video, music and image files and then shows user error message telling that files are corrupted. It advises user to download "recommended file repair software". This software detected, as Rogue:W32/DatDoc, lets user decrypt only one file unless a full version with price tag of $89.95, is bought.

Sunbelt has provided a decrypting tool to cure Data Doctor 2010 encrypted files.
