[QUOTE="Arakasi, post: 230069, member: 24967"] Ben North, Inexperienced users should not try and repair ransomware without knowing advanced knowledge in malware removal. When safemode doesnt boot usually it means the registry entries are corrupt for it by the malware and they are easily able to be put back into place, even if you cant boot the computer any longer from normal or safe mode. The constant reboot, reboot, reboot especially if they are not proper shutdowns due to no interface in normal mode, you can cause irreparable damage to the disk and windows files, thus causing it not to boot any longer at all. There is no ransomware malware that writes to the bios chip that i know of in existence. Here is why.... the main goal of ransomware is financials and the incentive is always financially driven. How can you get or accept money if you destroy their computer ? So it is likely his boot options are simply not correct any longer and you need to get those changes by pressing F2, Esc, F10 or whichever laptop model you have. If this is not the case then his drive is now failing. If there is a local shop, i would suggest you take it by for futher troubleshooting. Or if you want to attempt yourself, remove the hard drive, and dock it via usb to your own computer and run a Seatools test or WD Diag test to get some feedback on s.m.a.r.t. data as well as perform a DST. I am terribly sorry for your troubles and we would be glad to answer any further questions you might have or offer assistance. Most ransomware variants are detectable by more then half the vendors we discuss here at MT at least. You need to install one that you like and confirm with the vendor if they detect forms of police, fbi, interpol type ransomware. :) [/QUOTE]
