Hello, I had a ransomware on my computer. So I restarted the computer in safe mode, then I did a scan with malwarebytes, roguekiller and hitmanpro. I deleted all positive results and txt files from the cryptolocker and made a restaration of the computer before the installation of the virus. Luckily I had all my documents on an external drive so I did not lose anything, but I was wondering if I had to completely reinitialize the computer or if I'm safe now? I have several expensive and super long to install software so if it is not necessary I would prefer not to have to do it.
Thank you!
