I am undergoing a great problem!!! Something like Petya Ransomware entered my laptop, you guise must definitely be familiar about. It restricted me to enter my laptop with a skull image and then a note asking for a special "key" to be generated using tor browser. It says that "The hard disk of your computer have been encrypted with an military grade encryption algorithm."
Please help me to resolve it as soon as possible, its really too very much urgent. And I strictly don't want to loose my data.
The hard drive will have to be hooked up to another Laptop or Desktop PC via a USB port. Before that is done download and install McShield (free) to functional PC to ensure cross port infection is not possible... http://www.mcshield.net/
Thanks Kevin, but there's a another problem where i will get a SATA to USB cable in India. Can you please search it for me.. And is the method you told 100% successful...
The link I gave for the cable is Amazon, items are bought on a world wide basis. The link for Amazion India: http://www.amazon.in/
No fix is 100% successful with Rasomware issues, even if you pay the rasom. As far as I know the procedure link I gave you does work. I guess it depends how important the encrypted files are dictates if the risk is worth taking. Be aware there is no other fix available at present....
