It was encrypting so fast. These people who do this have no idea the heartache they reap....they are evil.
Thanks for the advice Blossom.....You are amazing.  |
If you ever need help PM me. I'm not a totally expert but I have out smarted baddies in my internet life.
Normally the advice on a normal virus not ransomware is
not to shut the computer down because on reboot the infection spreads but in this case you are trying to save files and the only way to stop the encryption process is to shut it down as fast you can then copy the files from a non Windows Environment. I wouldn't risk trying to removing this malware as something could go wrong and you could lose even more files.
Unfortunately the files that encrypted are lost there is no way to fix that.
