The first step is reading these instructions to the end.
Your files have been encrypted with the "Cerber Ransomware" software; the
instructions ("# DECRYPT MY FILES #.html" and "# DECRYPT MY FILES #.txt")
in the folders with your encrypted files are not viruses, they will
help you.
After reading this text the most part of people start searching in the
Internet the words the "Cerber Ransomware" where they find a lot of
ideas, recommendations and instructions.
It is necessary to realize that we are the ones who closed the lock on
your files and we are the only ones who have this secret key to
open them.
!!! Any attempts to get back your files with the third-party tools can
!!! be fatal for your encrypted files.
The most part of the third-party software change data within the
encrypted file to restore it but this causes damage to the files.
Finally it will be impossible to decrypt your files.
When you make a puzzle, but some items are lost, broken or not put in its
place - the puzzle items will never match, the same way the third-party
software will ruin your files completely and irreversibly.
You should realize that any intervention of the third-party software to
restore files encrypted with the "Cerber Ransomware" software may be
fatal for your files.

<p>Cannot you find the files you need?<br>Is the content of the files that you looked for not readable?</p>

<p>Encryption is a reversible modification of information for security reasons but providing full access to it for authorized users.</p>
<p>To become an authorized user and keep the modification absolutely reversible (in other words to have a possibility to decrypt your files) you should have an individual private key.</p>
