Semi Urgent Virus?

Go to solution Solved by DarkEnergy,

I was using Google Chrome when this smacked in my face. I am unable to right click anything on my desktop and I don't see it in task manager. Windows file explorer seems to be down. So....what should I do?

Oddly enough, I was able to move the window around my shrinking it and enlarging it.

 

I am using Kaspersky Anti Virus but it didn't detect anything.

Reboot into safe mode.

 

 

If that doesn't work, put Linux on a USB stick and run off it and try to see if any data is encrypted and also make sure the virus hasn't spread in all the files.

Ok, I was able to start explorer through task manager. Running scan now.

 

It didn't detect anything in memory, startup, or registry. I can't close the warning window.

Status Update:

 

Malwarebytes and Kaspersky weren't detecting anything. After a force restart everything seems to be fine. I will do some deeper scans right now.

This is a generic ransom virus. Boot into safe mode, or try a linux on thumbstick. If that doesn't work, gg.

I think it is a new virus not yet detected by anti virus.. I opened the program in a virtual box. I get a message about cannot open because of a wrong version of skype. After I closed it, I looked in the task manager. Upon scrolling down I noticed a task called "Windows (32 bit). Looking at its properties I noticed it was called the same file that gave me an error. It's not using any disk or CPU usage yet but it's still there, dormant. 

 

 

I can't tell if it changed any settings, although the error message was a bit too sudden to install anything and seeing as it's not using disk resources, it might just be on a timer. I submitted the virus to Kaspersky and will try to do little on my computer until they take a look at it. 

 

 

EDIT: Yup! I got the same message on the virtual machine.

I found it more simpler to just do a System Restore. Fortunately for me, my last backup was yesturday  :P

I'd still advise doing at least some of the scans.

It's not likely that you were first introduced to the malware TODAY. It's more likely you got it days ago.

The virus was from the file I downloaded today.
