so virus has encrypted my files, alright? and it left a note behind called how to get data.txt. I opened it with notepad and this file says my PC is HACKED. is that true??/ it also says that i have missed some lesson about safety and that “high school” “GPCODE” is going to teach me a lesson. WHAT the hell is that supposed to mean? I just want to remove GPCODE and get my files back as soon as possible!

GPCode ransomware is a noxious virus that wants to blackmail you. There is no evidence that scammers actually "sell" the decryption software (we have no information that they actually provide the decryption tool for victims who pay the ransom, so we do not recommend you to do that). The virus is right about only one thing - you did not protect your computer in the past well enough, and that is the reason why your PC got infected with GPCode virus. We kindly ask you to read the full report about this malware variant in this post - GPCode ransomware virus. How to Remove? (Uninstall Guide). Unfortunately, it seems that at the moment your files cannot be decrypted, but we suggest you create a backup of them and keep them until someone manages to defeat this ransomware and figure out what its Master Key is.
