Today pushed my luck even more than usual: using a client without any antivirus i downloaded a Torrent Magnet link from a website i had not used in the past,
in seconds i was infected by Ransomware, pretty much as described here: i decided to clean the PC the hard way, still without any antivirus Shortly after having practically lost control of the PC i managed to CTRL+ALT+DEL to get a Windows Boot/Lock Screen and then i tried restarting This stopped the memory resident portion of the virus and i even managed to locate the executables in CODE %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Temp after that i was still reluctant to restart because the registry related portion of the malware was still present meaning i could be locked off the PC provided the virus would be calling to missing files. Well, truth be told things were worse than that, although i create a system restore point upon restart i had this new issue Workstation kept rebooting due to an error even on Safe Mode, and disabling the automatic restart introduced me to this new type of BSOD CODE STOP: c0000135 the program can't start because %hs is missing. Try reinstalling the program This Blue Screen Of Death is typical for such malware / ransomware : once you are not paying your exit from jail they demolish the prison ! So i looked around and to my good luck and gain of knowledge here come(s) the solution(s) Cheers -------------------- |
