Key from one of the comments "It’s not too late if you still have the encrypted files, as I suspect many people do, hoping that someday a program like this would come along."

That is awesome. I'm sure a large percentage of people with irreplaceable files hung onto them, hope these guys get the exposure they deserve for the site.

#1 on HN is a good start.

+1. One lady in my office (running 1/4 Windows PCs) opened something from "Intuit" concerning a bill and got most of her documents locked down... and some of the shared files on the company's main NFS drive before I unplugged the box's ethernet cord. Oops.

She kept her files hanging around, just in case someone broke the encryption later on. A smart move from someone foolish enough to open a ".pdf.exe" file from an email reeking of fraud.
