Hi All

Been looking for help in this forum for years now without registering an account.

I hope to get some help and to provide some.

I might have run across a new ransomeware and I don't know where to post. At the moment I only have a bunch of encrypted files and don't know the source. The encrypted files has an e-mail appended to the filename.

I work as a tech for hire to small businesses who don't have a fulltime IT departement. The last weeks a couple of customers have been infected by the infamous cryptolocker virus but been able to restore the latest backup. This is the largest virus attack I have seen since "Love Letter". This must be organized crime...

How do you do, Palanca. It is a significant act you've accomplished by joining MalwareTips. It is what has brought frogboy & myself here (others shall follow) and this perpetuates the wonderment of the community you are now a member of with us. Welcome, you are well met.
The Malware removal Assistance forum is 'the' place to seek out individual help.

If the small businesses you are helping, and you, are searching for a preventive against further exposure to Cryptolocker educating the people who are clicking on links or attatchments may help. A virtualization program such as Sandboxie www.sandboxie.com may help, or perhaps Shadow Defender Shadow Defender - the easiest PC/laptop security and privacy protection tool

Before coming here, I'd read a thread by one of our Trusted Members, cruelsister, about a forthcoming program being developed to prevent these kinds of infections WinAntiRansom PLUS

I wish only the best for your clients & you. We'll hope to see you, and your posts, again and again.

Thanks for joining!:D
