Smacked with Ransomware
9 years ago
Commission Info coming soon....
Foolishly clicked on the attached file of a malicious email, and now some of my files (pics, zip files and such) is held for ransom unless I pay in bitcoins ($300+). While it's a bummer, I have no problem wiping my PC (again) if I cant decrypt my stuff. Unless some of you or someone you know who can help, I would probably just start again.
Stuff I did:
Kaspersky method: scanned, disinfected, and deleted those that couldnt be disinfected.
CCcleaned it.
Restarting
System Restore 9 days before the infection
I have the Kaspersky Decryption, but it needs to find the "original path" or "original file" in order for it to continue scanning and decrypt my files back. I cannot locate it, for I fear it could be lost because of my CCcleaner.
Sucks is that my thumbdrive was plugged in and it too got infected.

Yeah, there's literally nothing that can be done about that. don't pay 'em if you have backups.
what email provider were you using when it happened?
