Caught encoder [email protected], what to do with encrypted disk?

Question

Data recovery

Caught encoder [email protected]
The Internet says that data cannot be recovered without a key - clever encryption is used.
Encrypted data has already been spat on, but I would still like to use an external drive that has been encrypted.
Has a virus found its way into some executables on a disk with encrypted files? How to determine for sure?

Answer 1

maybe you should scan it with an antivirus?

Answer 2

I think the safest thing to do is to boot from something non-Windows and format it.
And so, you can disable autoloading of external drives in the registry (Google to help how to do this), connect a screw, open it with some FAR, TotalCommander, the main thing is not Explorer (this is another potential hole) and search in root suspicious files like inf and ini and so on. Clean them up and what they referred to.
