Hi all.  I am new to this environment and am in desperate need of some help.  My business has been infected with a crypto virus and we are going to have to pay the ransome.  I have setup a wallet in the Bit Core ap and have transferred coins to it but it appears that there is a synchronization process that is taking forever to complete.  Is there a direct download of this data that would allow me to expedite?  

Looking for any assistance you can offer.

I'm sorry to hear this, it really makes my blood boil criminals extorting bitcoin / money from people in this way. As advised above all you can do is wait it out I'm afraid.

Can you please let us know as many details as possible about your problem i.e. what its done to your pc or network, what message you're seeing, btc address you've been told to send payment too, how much are they demanding, do the criminals call themselves anything, did the infection come from an infected email attachment or download etc.
