So I ended up with the fucking CryptoDefense malware on my pc, now all my fucking files are encrypted. I looked around and apparently the keys used for encryption are left behind on the system by this particular virus. I think I may have found them as I looked where a news article mentioned they should be and lo and behold there was stuff there. Now what the hell do I do? I need my files decrypted but I have no idea what the hell to do from here. Help me Totseans, you're my only hope!

pawn that viruses ass.
Infected users should check in the Application Data > Application Data > Microsoft > Crypto > RSA folder of their PCs for the private key.
The primary vector of attack is the old favorite, the anonymous email attachment. While people are getting better at not downloading files from unknown sources, there are still a lot of folks who aren't so wary and, once infected, they are likely to be technology-illiterate enough to panic into making a payment.
Crap coding may have crippled CryptoDefense, but it's clear that malware writers are investing in ransomware in a big way. Expect to see a lot more of this kind of malware-laden spam in the future. ®
Yeah ur safe
