Any Windows Unlocker for Linux?
Hi All,
I am putting together my favorites to repair Windows on a bootable Xfce Fedora Core 20 (FC20) USB stick.
Kaspersky has a (slow, clunky, unsupported) live CD with a utility on it called "windowsunlocker (Windows Unlocker)". It is to unlock windows after a ransomware attack so you can remove the virus. (See what stuff you all are missing by not running Windows!)
Anyone know of a version of windowsunlocker I could run from my FC20 stick?
Many thanks,
-T

You could try backing up your data. That way it's safe from any attack.
OK, so that's a bit preachy but honestly all machines will fail and data will be lost.

Sorry, all I read was the "I am putting together my favorites to repair Windows on a bootable Xfce Fedora Core 20 (FC20) USB stick." and saw it as a double-post.
Why are you re-inventing the wheel? There are numerous Linux utility CDs and outright utilitarian distributions (Live CDs) for such activity. |

Also bartsPE and such. I agree with a good backup.
The issue is more why this app has attacked your system too.
