What Is CryptoLocker?
CryptoLocker is a ransom virus which is able to lock users’ personal files including documents, photos and videos saved in the infected computer. It states that users need to pay 100 USD or 100 EUR to obtain a private key in order to decrypt those files. It also scares users that any attempt to remove or damage CryptoLocker will lead to immediate destruction of the private key by server. Yes, we have got a way to decrypt those files; however, pay the ransom will not help you to get back your files, because it is a ransom virus, it aims to ransom users’ money, but not decrypt your files. If you have backed up your personal files, you are a lucky man. Or, your files will be lost forever. On another hand, users have to remove CryptoLocker ransom virus as soon as possible, because it will lock more of your files if you leave it in your computer.
