Recover from virus Cryptolock

the best way to recover from the virus cryptolock? Also the file "firefox.exe" was lost during the virus cleaning. The rest of the tree under 'Program files/Mozilla Firefox' dir dir is intact. Of course, all standard file types that this virus goes after are encrypted under dir tree 'My Documents'. Most of the files are there, but others are encrypted. All this occur on a windows XP home 32 bit PC.

 Firefox was the default web access program, so many other programs that try to access the web through Firefox crash or do not run right. There are a number of add ons to Firefox (such as epub, and other readers, PDF, translators, download manager, etc.).  Some of the these have files that where encrypted.

On the lack of response I got from this forum, I had to take this resolution into my own hands and here are the results.

First of all, I made a backup of all the games of dir that Firefox uses under 'Programs' and 'Documents and Settings '. It was a precautionary measure against losing some file that may need sill, such as bookmarks and other personalization data. Currently there is no help from this forum about what to do, I copied everything. Downloaded the latest version (29 in this case) of the installer on another computer, then put it on a USB key to switch to the computer being repaired. MS Internet Explorer has never been setup or used (although the updates where installed) on computer repair. I didn't go in time to see that if IE does not work, it is not the point here. Then I moved the install file to a temp on computer repair dir, then he ran. He installed all Firefox and as expected had some problems with Add-ons. Through Add-ons one at a time, only necessary an update download and where well, Microsoft .net should be removed/uninstalled and reinstalled to operate. Then I went back through sets of dir and removed all of the encrypted files that when left behind, not in use anyway. The backup of files where not necessary and I will be remove soon. At the moment, all right. See that it was not so difficult to explain.

And Philipp, yes I will be to move to a more recent OS in the near future. But I'll be it during my own choice and need to run two computers at the same time I have to transfer data and programs.

We can never be in a hurry to spend money.

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-1F1 has an i3 processor and I recovered from the recovery disks. A few days later, everything is very slow and the Fans are always at full speed, even at idle and there is no dust when I opened it and I replaced the thermal paste.

    All of the Suggestions.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Try to optimize the OS version. Check the startup options and disable all applications that you don't need.
    Make sure that all unnecessary applications do not start with the OS. Remove the system from all things, that you don't need.
    Play a little with it.

  • Satellite L300 - I can recover from the hidden partition

    Hello

    The vista on my L300 will not start.

    I try to use the modem for the first time, but he could not communicate with the line. So I delete in "Device Manager".

    After the reboot, vista boot screen appears only for 3 seconds then restart the laptop. There is no way, no safe mode...

    Contact the hd as an external drive XP say 'unknown' 0 bytes, with Linux just like named 'vista' and I could open all the files.

    I have no recovery. DVD burning with the Toshiba Recovery program has failed tree times and so I give up.

    the hidden partition is ok. On my laptop from a different manufacture, I can recover from this hidden partition. Is it possible to do it on my L300?

    Thanks for the information

    Thorsten

    Hello!

    The hidden partition you want to say has nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image.
    There are files for system restore, and it is a feature of Vista, not Toshiba. If you want more information about the restore of the system here is a good article from Wikipedia:
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/WinRE

    The HARD drive recovery folder contains the original recovery image and if you don t have access to this folder and do not burn the recovery disc, you need a new.
    You can get one from an ASP, but you can also order a disc here:
