On Saturday afternoon I noticed that my PC was running a lot slower than it should, oddly slower. Upon doing some routine maintenance, I discovered that my files had been encrypted and a whole lot of Ransom notes distributed through my locked files.
I was not longer able to access images text documents and general files.
Music and some images were still intact.
Strange desk Icons started appearing, my system was really slow booting up, locking folders encrypted files and folders and text documents appearing.
I ran Nortons, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and microsoft malicious software removal tool.
However this trojan is still in my computer.
detected viruses seems to be stemming from a folder called SYSWOW64 located within Local Disk C/Windows/SYSWOW64.
I re-ran the scans but they keep coming up as clean, however with the issues of notes and folders still appearing I am doubtful that the malware is gone.
I understand that I most likely wont be able to retrieve my files, but is there a way I can at least clean my system of this Virus?
Thank You!
