Help me, please. I am using a laptop and running Windows on it, but now I have a problem. I cannot open my files. All it happened today. All my files have .crypted extensions added to the filenames and for some reason I cannot open them. What does that mean?
How do I open my files? .crypted extensions added…

Thank you for contacting us with a question regarding Crypted virus. This virus functions in a particular way - it encrypts victim's files and commands to pay up if the victim wants to open his/hers personal files ever again. You should read a full post about this malicious virus here - Crypted virus. How to Remove? (Uninstall Guide).
Now, you have two choices - you can support cyber criminals by paying the ransom and expect to get your files back (which is unlikely to happen), or you can kill this virus immediately. Unfortunately, there is no way to decrypt your personal files that were affected by Crypted ransomware; you can only recover them from a backup drive if you had one. To remove this virus, we recommend using a reputable anti-malware software, for example, FortectIntego.

Really??!!!
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED RIGHT NOW...
ok this is not what I was expecting... should I pay? but I don't want to give my money for these criminals... they already took my files away...
I am so, so mad. I'll read this article and decide what to do next... pardon my hysterical frustration..
To prevent yourself from data loss, you should create copies of your files and store them on some backup device which is NOT connected to your computer.
To secure your computer from similar cyber crimes, you should consider installing a proper security software.
We suggest you to read this article about this Trojan (JS.Nemucod. What is it?) - it is possible that it has installed Crypted ransomware on your PC.
