Dear visitor,
At this time there are no decryption tools available to restore personal files for you. To get help regarding data recovery, system repair and malware removal, we strongly recommend visiting this in-depth article on our site - How to Remove MZLQ Ransomware and Restore Files.
MZLQ ransomware is a very powerful virus which basically has no flaws. Once it encrypts files, it can be hard to recover them, especially without having data backups. However, it is known that STOP/DJVU variants meddle with Windows OS files such as HOSTS file, therefore we recommend using RESTORO to repair virus damage to Windows system files.
In addition, if you want to know your chances to recover files in the near future, we suggest reading this guide on how and when you can decrypt files locked by DJVU variants such as MZLQ virus.
