I had a google and found this:

 

https://sensorstechforum.com/crab-files-virus-how-to-remove-gandcrab-v2-and-restore-data/

 

Maybe follow the steps on there.

 

Also, in future, as previous people have pointed out, be careful of the sources you use to get any media you might have. It is far easier to just be careful of anything you are downloading rather than go through the effort of virus removal after you've been infected.

 

I'm new to the forum, so not sure on the rules about posting links to external sources, so if that is not allowed, please can a moderator remove my post. I did look up the rules, but couldn't find the section for links. :-/

Antivirus software works on it or not

The article says that some anti-virus might work on it, but not all.

 

At this stage, the best advice is to run your PC in safe mode and try different anti virus and anti malware programs; to see if one of them can undo the changes made by the ransomware.

 

Also, try to think what the last think you downloaded or activated prior to the virus' activation. As that is likely the source of the ransomware, and you can avoid it in the future.
