Locky Virus... help please!
My computer came down with the Locky Virus this morning. When I googled it a company called Equipe Microfix came up and they said for $500 (for their labor) and 1.2 bitcoin they would fix the problem. I.e. go on the dark web to get a private key and decrypt program and use team viewer to access my computer.
Forgive me if this is an obvious question (I'm not a tech savvy guy) but do I just pay them and be done with it? Sounds shady but is there an alternative?
All of my files have been renamed a long extension and "_Locky_recover_instructions.txt " is in every folder. It says I have to download and install Tor Browser.
Thanks in advance for any help!
