try this out. http://www.reddit.com/r/TronScript/
people have used it to fix their computer who were infected with malware and viruses. they say it take couple of hours run the course since it's going through your whole system. Caustion, I've never tried it myself but am very curious as to how well it work. I'd advise tooking into it first yourself before attempting to use. best of luck.

yes, but more than that its a complete hard drive wipe if you can't fix the ransomware.

they may have a fix, you may not need a wipe

Can you share how you were actually attacked? Was it through an email, a website, an employee on a lab computer on your network, or something else? What, if anything did you have on your computer and or server to protect you? This info might at least help others avoid getting attacked by the trolls.

ok ..all's back together.. had to do the Clinton bleach bit and start over....where it came from I have no idea. . my other computer on network was fine...the surprising part? I have no idea where it came from..I dont FB, email, yt, none of that stuff on this computer at all. ... now for being a dumb ass.. This computer is almost new one year to the date... It skipped my mind to add it to my iDrive account so my last cloud backup[ was the day my previous computer was up n running....and to make matters worse I left my portable backup plugged in.. it also got infected....so I lost close to one years worth of goodies.. that sucking sound and a little pop you heard was my head coming out of my ass..
