Now you have the last chance to decrypt your files. Open http://tmc2ybfqzgkaeilm.onion.cab or http://tmc2ybfqzgkaeilm.tor2web.org in your browser. They are public gates to the secret server. If you have problems with gates, use direct connection: 1. Download Tor Browser from http://torproject.org 2.
