They have encrypted all of our files on our home computer and are demanding money from us inorder to get them back. Does anyone know what to do?
Any advice is greatly received.

Don't pay. They will just ask for more money. You won't get your files back, time to reformat and move on. Next time don't use IE, use AdBlock to block malicious ads, and don't run any unidentified softwarepoppy100
