Cryptolocker

Hi there,
My comp was hit by Cryptolocker.
I removed it , but my files were crypted and now i dont have access to them.
Please, is there a way to fix ( decrypt ) those files ? I need them back :wink:

Thank You,
Kind Regards,

I an word no. This is a real nasty piece of stuff and the decoding algorithm is help by the attacker. The only option is to use a recent image

So there is no hope ? Will You guys find a cure ? :wink:

thx,

the only cure at the moment is having backup or pay. :-\

all the smart brains in all the worlds AV labs are trying to find a solution…

Rather late, but main way this one is distributed is via spam links about UPS or FedEx. If you’ve not sent anything, or aware of anything being sent to you, just delete the mail. UPS or FedEx will deliver your package to you either way whether you do anything or not, if it exists.

Remember to always verify first before clicking a link in an email first, never download and open a .zip file if you were not expecting it. Wait for verification first in all cases.

please watch this video.
Britec shows how to remove it .

Does Avast! detect and block this piece or horrorware?

new versions arrive everyday…

There have been very few tools. Most won’t work. I’d say your case is almost hopeless. Follow what Britec does (I’m surprised you guys know about him) and it might work out. No garuntee though
