Security, Cryptolocker, Ransomware, Malware
I believe I opened an attachment that was Malware and might be cryptoware. What can I do?
Cryptolocker/Ransomware scams involve a type of malware that infects computers and
restricts users' access to their files or threatens the permanent
destruction of their information unless a ransom is paid. Once Ransomware launches on your machine, it is nearly impossible to access your files.
