Hi guys, I have the same problem as others for last few weeks. Bitcrypt v2.0 or cryptlocker. All my very important pictures of my family are blocked, but 96 hours are already left. Do you think i can get it back after paying the ransom?

Thanks

Please don't pay the people. Paying them is what makes it worth it to them to keep on doing this. Surely you have backups?

I'm not sure if it's within the forum rules to help further.

These scammers keep a private key on their servers and will only release it once you pay.
In many cases even after paying they will not give you the key anyway.

I know from experience as a repair technician that this is a common issue that is almost impossible to troubleshoot.

The virus assigns your PC with a public key that must link up with their private key. Only once you have the private key can the decryption begin.

These people are using incredibly complex algorithms that would take years to crack.

I cannot tell you what to do as I really can't sway your opinion.

Good luck

This virus creates files bitcrypt.txt in each folder where files has been encrypted . This file contains the ransom and instructions.

Looks like it's BitCrypt that was broken. I'm not sure if it's the same thing as BitCrypt 2.0/Cryptlocker.
