Zulu3475 6 Report post Posted January 9, 2019 I have to reformat the hard drive. I am good now, but a most of the files can not be used. The infected file was renamed and added an extension, XHRGQTP. They asked me to pay and they will give code to decrypt. Thanks 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tech 425 3,942 Report post Posted January 9, 2019 I'm happy you are good 99.9% of the time if you pay they won't decrypt any thing as they are Big Time Scammers Please make sure you use a Anti-virus and be careful I have been using warez for a ton of years and I have yet to get infected But if this ever happens again use Boot Scanners to find out what you have and then look at the removers for that infection and you will find the best remover If you need any Help Please ask and I will do my Best to Help you 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rædwulf 1,441 Report post Posted January 9, 2019 ive found that if u don't put any important files in ur local drive ransomware can't affect u.. i never safe any data in my local libraries, only on external partitions.. use a proper AV and firewall.. ive also only been affected by malware using warez one time and it was from using a permanent kms software.. i suggest using a form of sandbox with ur current browser for extra protection.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
