Hello I am using HP Laptop Windows. I have a program named "Search powered by Yahoo" that I wanted to remove so I downloaded a crack version of a program remover(I forgot the name and the link sorry). Instead of removing the program, my laptop got infected by a virus I didn't know, I know that it got infected because every file in my laptop has a name added after them ". mado" so I think the virus' name is MADO so I've researched about it and how to remove it and I got into your website I've done all the steps you told but it didn't work so I joined your forum anyways you said it is a virus RANSOMWARE but I didn't get any RANSOMWARE note so I can't report it so please help me all files in my laptop is important, it has almost all my photos which is special it has my memories with my classmate and family so please help me!

I do not know if I'm dreaming by I seemed to have seen your message in this Forum or else were.

Mado is malicious program, belonging to the Stop/Djvu ransomware family

Submit a sample of a compromised file to this site.

ID Ransomware

The will confirm what I have found.
If a solution is available they wlll inform you.

As far as we know today a cure is not available.

I suggest you save your files on a Flash Driver.
If later a solution is found you will be in luck.

Hi,
The bad guys leave no trace.
All you need to remove if you do not want is to delete the compromed file if you do not want to keep them.

I can check your computer to see if anything else needs attention.

Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST).
Choose the 32 or 64 bit version for your system.
and save it to a folder on your computer's Desktop.
Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Press Scan button.
It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

How to attach a file to your reply:
In the Reply section in the bottom of the topic Click the "more reply Options" button.

Click the file you wish to Attach.

Click the Add reply button.

This program is updated often.
If it's identified as suspicious by your Anti-Virus program trust it if Downloaded from the link I provided.
You should restore the program from the Quarantine folder.

If I see some compromised files do you wish me to delete them?

I will format it now completely. I will do a clean format which will remove all files and install again. Will it remove the virus completely?

Good luck with the clean formatting of the computer.
When Windows is installed make sure you get all the latest Windows Security up dates.
