Hi,
I cannot access my files anymore. They have been modified a bit, the icons have changed, and they now have .vvv file extension. What does that mean? how can I access them?
I cannot open my files? They changed their names, too

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, it seems that your computer was infected with TeslaCrypt 2.0, also known as .vvv File Extension virus. Ransomware is a very dangerous virus, which gets into computer systems pretending to someone else (acts like a Trojan horse). You might have accidentally downloaded this virus if you have opened some suspicious e-mail attachments recently. You should never open e-mail letters from unfamiliar senders!
The first thing you have to do is to immediately delete the .vvv File Extension virus and stop it from encrypting your files. For that, we suggest using FortectIntego malware removal software.
Unfortunately, if ransomware encrypts your files, it can be very hard or almost impossible to retrieve them unless you have an external backup drive. On the article we have mentioned before, we have listed several programs that are believed to be able to encrypt at least a part of your files.
