in the middle of constant disk activity I checked neighbouring computer what is happaning. a guy managed to ran spora through chrome update. (chrome font.exe and chrome font (1).exe were found on computer, chrome font(1).exe was running) after i killed and removed spora, i managed to get most of my files back (backup).
Some files are missing but I do not have .key file which is said to be urgent to unencrypt data. I would like to know if it is even possible to enencrypt data without .key. If i ran virus again will it encrypt alredy encripted files and make new .key or will i got the same .key.
Another computer put chrome font.exe in quarantine but i can reinstall it.

You are the lucky one who managed to restore at least some of the files encrypted by Spora 2.0 ransomware virus. We do not recommend reinstalling malware on your device again. Probably, the virus will encrypt decrypted files only, and the second attempt to restore data may not be as successful as it was now. We strongly recommend trying alternative data recovery methods to restore corrupted files. You can find our suggestions here.

I tried to decripted a file. Site offers 2 free file tries. I uploaded .xlsx file (i lack recent backup, but nothing urgent went missing). And spora site noticed me that they consider this file "important" and that they will not unencrypt it for free, insted i should upload some small <20kb .doc, .xls file or some .pdf, .jpg.
encrypted .jpg went through fine. I got one picture back it seems that no changes are made to file - all exif and other information is there.
As I read through the comments, some users had troubles unencrypting their data. Some couldn't download unencrypter (.exe file) because their antivirus was firing up... Some got encrypted again when they rebooted their computer. It seems that lot of victims didn't managed to unencrypt anything despite paying :/
Compared to previus versions of spora, it seems that right now, you dont need to upload .key file to the site to unencrypt your data i guess they get uniq ID from your "usercode" .html file.
