#_HOW_TO_FIX.inf – that’s the ransom note that I found! This virus attacked me yesterday and it added an email + cryptobyte file extensions to all of my files. It says that I must pay someone to recover my files, and says to write to [no.xm@protonmail.ch] email for more information. Can I recover my files in any other way?

Cryptobyte is a file-encrypting Trojan that takes victim's files hostage in exchange for ransom. As you can see, cybercriminals left you a ransom note, asking you to get in touch with them to get more information about the attack and instructions on how to pay a ransom. Paying the ransom, according to them, is the only way to restore files. Sadly, there are no other decryption methods available at the moment, however, you can restore your files from a backup, too. If you do not have it, it will be very hard or nearly impossible to recover .cryptobyte file extension files. For more information about the virus, its removal, and data recovery options, please visit this page: Cryptobyte ransomware virus. How to Remove? (Uninstall Guide).
