Cryptowall 3.0 removal
My laptop PC is infected by this malware for the last 2-3 days. I can still access my documents. I installed WEBROOT secure last evening but did not remove.
Hello,
How do you know for sure it is really Cryprowall 3.0 on your PC?
I am asking it because usually you know you have this infection because you got a on-screen message that your files are encrypted and you are asked for payment and by that time your docs are encrypted - but here you said you could still access your docs.
OK, so let's suppose it is Cryptowall 3.0 (or this can be anything else suspicious to you), if there is an infection on your PC an Webroot not yet removed it, you can do the following steps:
0. unplug/stop the Internet connection as soon as possible
1. open Webroot user interface
2. click on the small gear next to Utilities in the rigth column
3. click on System Control tab
4. under Conrtol Active Processes header click on Start button - you will see the list of active processes
5. find and select any process in the list that has marked as Monitred (most likely Cryptowall will have a very strange (random) process name, eg. jboucvizc.exe)
6. change the setting of the monitored process from Monitor to Block
7. wait for Webroot to complete its removal job(s) - maybe you will need to reboot at the end
8. go back and run a Deep Scan from the main window
Done.
Good luck!
