Computer Virus Help Needed

The problem with this virus is that you can remove it from your computer with Malwarebytes, but unless you actually pay the price these bastards want, you won't get your photos and documents unlocked. The virus actually locks these files with a 128 bit encryption key which is virtually impossible to crack. Unless you pay for the key to unlock your files, they're toast. Sorry to say. Without paying, the only way you'll get them back is if you had them backed up in a location not connected to your network, like on a disconnected external hard drive.

Good luck to you...

Yes,
I am aware that the encrypted files are probably gone but fortunately for me the many irreplaceable family images I lost were taken with my phone and are still stored there.
