Anthony I've seen executables that decrypt without having to go into the DAC, but When I did the research once before, they seemed to be crippleware to try and get money from you.

I participated in a different thread that did require the DAC to get in, and put some screenshots there, and the link to the Decryptor procedure in this thread:

not sure if that helps, though, since you wanted to avoid the DAC.
