Malware Trying to Encrypt my Hard Drives
Hi all,
I have somehow acquired some malware that keeps trying to encrypt my files but I have a program running called CyberReason which blocks it everytime it tries to do its evil deed. Yet it does not clean the ransomware from my PC.
What is the best ransomware cleaner, preferably free?
The ransomware keeps adding folders to all of my drives with different name and tries to hide them. But I can see them since I have Show Hidden Folders enabled. Every time I delete them, they come back with a different name within a minute or so. Here are some of the names:
Adate167
Zconfig194
Acdata102
Xpackage86
Inside these folders are files of various types like "wise align.doc" and "cigarette.liberal.xls" with a total of 10 files in each folder. They amount to 1.68 MB.
I have included wise align.doc as an attachment but I DO NOT advise anyone to open it! I include it only in the hope that someone knows how to analyze it and let me know what the name of this ransomware is.
Does anyone recognise this particular ransomware and know of a good cleaner that will kill it dead?
