While I was on my break I had a very bad virus attack my computer.
It is called Ransom Locky.When Locky is first installed it will check to see if the computer is using the Russian language, and if it is, will not encrypt the computer. Otherwise, it will connect to a remote Command & Control server that is under the Locky developer's control and send it the ID associated with the victim's infection. This ID is generated by taking the first 16 characters of a MD5 hash of the GUID for the storage volume that Windows is installed on. Once it sends the ID, Locky will respond with an RSA key that will be used during the encryption process. Locky will then create a Windows registry key that it will use to store configuration information. This registry key is located at HKCU\Software\[random]. Locky will now scan the computer's local, removable, mapped drives, and unmapped network shares for file types that it targets for encryption.
Once it has encrypted your files it will give you a ransome note.Giving you instructions of how to remove as below. [Linked Image]

However your files will be encrypted.It gives you instructions of how to do this.
Once you have install a tor browser and gone to their website.That's where they want you to pay .05 of a bitcoin or $230US.

Please I urge do not,I repeat do not go on the deep-web with a windows based computer it is far to dangerous,for your computer.

All I can say is guys please please make sure you back up your files.Unfortunately I didn't back up everything and I lost quite a bit.The worst being photos especially our wedding photos.So be careful with horrible things like that out there,like I said back your files up.Paying for this encryption key after searching the deep-web I found that I could pay but I wasn't going to get the key.
The best thing to do is keep your antivirus up to date and use some kind of Malware program on your computer.A virus like that is more likely to show up on a malware program.As my anti virus never detected it at all.
I only noticed two days after my computer got it and the first 2 of my hard-drives were encrypted.
I hope none of you guys get it I'm still even weeks after it trying to recover my files and fixing my computer.I properly never will get my files and photos back,but have to try.
Sorry I just wanted you guys to be aware of terrible viruses that are out there doing damage.
Thanks.
