Need to get rid of .exx extensions

So I took my old hard drive that was having major malware problems and put it as a secondary drive on my brand new PC

 

I need to get to some important txt and image files but they are locked out by the damn exx extention malware

 

Is there a way to zap it completely so I can get my important files back?

 

 

Your infected with the Alpha Crypt  file-encrypting ransomware:

Not much you can do to get the files back without paying the ransom.

 

You can try the methods listed here:

There is really nothing that can be done?   I don't have restore points for these =/

No, you can try the methods I suggested but I don't think they'll work.

 

Here's the whole bible on the infection:

We can get rid of the infection if it's still present, but the files are most likely gone.

I've been informed that there's a decoder that may work for this infection….give it a try:
