[QUOTE="BroncosFan34, post: 472582, member: 48583"] I have an odd issue that I ran into today on a users machine. On startup I get the Crytowall Ransomware instructions for Cryptowall 4.0. They pop up in html and image format and from my research it matches the 4.0 variant of the Ransomware. What is odd though. I cant seem to find any files that are encrypted on the machine. Also when I run MalwareBytes and Hitman Pro on the machine neither of them detect the virus. Does anyone have any insight on why this is and how I can be assured that the virus isn't on the machine? The only thing I can think of as to why the virus didn't succeed is because the machine was encrypted already using DiskCryptor and you cant encrypt what is already encrypted? That doesn't seem right to me though... Any insight would be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
