Hello,
I am seeking your assistance.
I was somehow infected with a ransomware virus tonight. It seemingly only appeared after I ran malware bytes, which I'd decided to do because my system was running slowly.
Now, loads of my files are encrypted, including some really important things.
I think I have removed the virus (after having run malwarebytes, and I can't see any traces in the registry) but I'm not sure.
So, I would really like help with 3 things:
1) Identifying exactly what was infecting my system
2) Identifying whether it's still infecting my system
3) Any conceivable way I can decrypt my encrypted files (I do not have a system restore point I can go back to). This is the most important one I need help with.
Any help would be massively appreciated.
Thanks,
Mockmaster
