Osiris infection today - what next?

[rodent-rocker]

Arrrgh!... It's not been a good day

I've done what I can (see actions) to try and restore some order to the mayhem, but have I done enough? Do I need to delete EVERYTHING from my laptop and start from scratch?

Also, I don't suppose there is any hope of retrieving any files from my hastily removed USB stick, is there?

Thanks in anticipation...

Hello,

There is no way to decrypt this malware at the moment unless you pay to the bad guys what I do not recommend. You don't need to reinstall your system because this malware executes, it encrypts files and then it deletes itself.

Thanks, matey... So you don't think it's lurking in a virtual recess somewhere, waiting to pounce again?!

Nope, I don't think so.
