Nasty Virus

Hi I've picked up a nasty virus and would be grateful for some help with it please. I started following the removal instructions in the stickies but when I started to use Panda I suddenly got another pop-up on my screen - Crytolocker - asking for money to unencrypt my files. Windows Defender has been switched off and although MBAM detects a trojan and removes it it obviously hasn't gone completely! I have all the software mentioned downloaded and ready to go but would appreciate someone walking me through it if anyone has time

try booting from kaspersky rescue cd
https://support.kaspersky.com/4162
you can burn the iso to cd with imgbrn, write image file to disc option
in future, backup http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx, then you can undo the damage easily!!

The malware itself is relatively straightforward to remove using usual methods. The problem is in the encryption of your data. Decryption is nigh on impossible. Do you have backups?Unfortunately, once the encryption of the data is complete, decryption is not feasible. To obtain the file specific AES key to decrypt a file, you need the private RSA key corresponding to the RSA public key generated for the victim’s system by the command and control server. However, this key never leaves the command and control server, putting it out of reach of everyone except the attacker. The recommended solution is to restore encrypted files from a backup.

To a fashion yes...... Photos and music are all on a hard drive and the important documents are in Drive but there's a lot of other stuff on there that it's annoying to lose! I was really hoping that I would be able to get everything back but having tried to open a couple of documents I can see that's not going to happen! Don't think the virus is cleared either so I'll move on to the next stage tonight but think I'm heading down the road of formatting the whole thing:mad:0

All scans are running as clear but I'm not convinced - the programme is running very slowly and then to cap it all I just tried to post up hijackthis log and my post was blocked0

Post me a DDS log - should take 2-3 minutes.
Download DDS from the link below and save it to your desktop:
Link
After you've downloaded it and saved it to your desktop:- Double click DDS to run it.
- Click Start
- When it's finished, DDS will open two logs:
- DDS.txt
- Attach.txt
Copy & paste the contents of just DDS.txt for now and post it here (you may need to split the log over separate posts)
If you cant post it due to the forum bug, let me know and I'll PM you my email address to send me it.0 -
Thanks - I'll run it now0

.
UNLESS SPECIFICALLY INSTRUCTED, DO NOT POST THIS LOG.
IF REQUESTED, ZIP IT UP & ATTACH IT
