[QUOTE="Hannay, post: 607301, member: 60026"] Hello, and thank you so much! All done, and logfiles atached. For your information, on reboot Chrome launched displaying the "All your work and personal files were encrypted" warning/ransom page. In case it is useful, the address bar reads: "file:///C:/Users/rd/ApData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start%20Menu/Programs/Startup/GB06F-23XOH-FTARH-TZTRX-TAZOY.htm" That same file "GB06F ... etc" is also on my desktop and in a variety of folders on the laptop, as well as on the portable drive (WD Passport) that was attached to it at the time of the infection. Can I still use that portable drive by connecting it to a clean computer, or will it infect it until it is cleaned? I would like to start to try to rebuild some work on another computer if possible, and need to access the portable drive to begin but I can't connect it to anything until I know whether it is infectious or not. Will you be helping me to clean SPORA files off that portable drive as well? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
