Hi

  Sorry for your loss of files..    and at the expense of losing coins as well,  I just wanted to have you verify something.

  Is it possible that Cryptolocker is the name of the ransomeware that you were infected with?  I wanted to have you double-check to ensure it wasn't TorrentLocker instead.

   The Original Cryptolocker was taken down by the FBI  (Control of the entire botnet) , and a service was setup to help recover files.

   You can find out more about it at http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/506924/cryptolocker-hijack-program/page-223

   If you indeed have Cryptolocker, then email a sample file to be scanned and decrypted, and you might just be in luck.

   If you have TorrentLocker, which is a copy-cat service, then unfortunately, you may end up paying coins, with no guarantee of results.

   (The original cryptolocker DID unlock when payment was made, although I advise against it simply because you don't know who/what you are funding when you do.)


  Good Luck, and let us know how you make out.
