Ok this is not funny anymore. I used to play PokemonGo, but what is this? My computer has been locked in some type of way. I cannot open my files anymore, filenames have been slightly modified, too. Desktop picture has been changed too, and there is a pikachu sitting on my screen now. I can see a message in arabic language, which I can’t read nor understand. What happened and how can I remove PokemonGo virus?

It seems that you have installed PokemonGo ransomware at some point. It is a malicious computer virus, meant to encrypt victim's files and demand a ransom for them. This virus appends .locked file extension. The message in Arabic says that your files were encrypted and that in order to recover them, the victim needs to ask for instructions by sending an email to cybercriminals. Please, do not support cybercriminals by paying them. They will simply use that money to create more viruses and collect more ransoms. You can recover your files from a backup, but firstly, you must remove PokemonGo ransomware. Please carefully read these PokemonGo removal instructions and delete the virus as instructed.
