[AustinKZombie]

Nice virus you got there.

Yep its pretty nice

[sanderdegrote]

Boot into safe mode and try running MalwareBytes. Oh, and nice dog you have there

[brownninja97]

Sorry for the bad news, as of right now there is no cure for this virus, there is no way to regen anything. Your only choice is nuke windows(meaning reinstall).

[AustinKZombie]

Woo nuking windows now that sounds fun so hopefully there a cure one day

[Bluejay0]

There is no cure for it. I remember a report about it a while back but from what I remember that you needed to pay a sum of money to get your data back.

Time to reinstall windows

 

Here's a picture of Steve Ballmer flipping shit to keep you entertained:

Yeah, removing the actual virus is self is fairly easy I think, the problem being that even if you remove it your files are still encrypted.

 

Remember to make lots of back ups guys

Oh Ballmer. How we miss you :'P

Cryptolocker or variants of use RSA encryption. There is no way to decrypt without the public key. Things like sideband attacks don't work either. If you are running Windows Vista/7 you can run Shadow Explorer which allows you to restore files via the Shadow Copy Service. The infection is very easy to remove, wiping Windows isn't even required.

Do they encrypt your files, then run the "Hey, we got you." thing as soon as it's done, or is the timer them actually encrypting your files? 

If I saw this, I would power down immediately. Pull the HDD out of the machine, pop it into a new one, quarantined (Linux or VM), then pull all my files off after a good scan or 10. 

Just saying. Encryption takes time. But I assume they are smart and only let you know once they have you by the balls. But... How do you access your files until without being alerted if they are encrypted?

I heard it uses cray shit encryption like 2k bit or something like that I cant remember where I heard it .

It encrypts the files and then gives you this alert.

You have to reinstall windows so get to it then follow these tips to avoid this in the future

 

 

1. Stop going to naughty places on your primary rig, build a crap thing with ubuntu for that.

 

2. Stop opening ever email you get.

 

3. Common sense is the best antivirus there is.

 

4. Clean up your desktop, seeing that many icons makes my head hurt.

 

 

(also grats, you just announced to the forum that you were watching some really kinky stuff)

You don't have to reinstall windows. I have removed numerous cases of Cryptolocker and its variants with 0 re-infection.

[CAKEwasTRUE]

try putting the drive in another computer and scanning the drive with an antivirus software

 

Thats what i have done in the past

I prefer caution over data preservation

Remember to make lots of back ups guys

And make sure that those backups are not connected to the computer so that they don't get encrypted as well.
