So i found all of my files locked the other day. The file extensions say .encrypted instead of the normal .jpg, .mp3 or other extensions that I’m used to. From researching the web I found out that this is sign of a TorrentLocker hijack so I guess my files are lost forever… Or are there ways to retrieve them?
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, this virus has developed a new version which cannot be decrypted, so this means that in order to retrieve your files, you would have to wait until the decryption key is invented. This may take a while. So, it is better to remove the virus from your system ENTIRELY. You can do that either manually or automatically. If you are a less experienced user, we recommend the automatic removal method using a reputable antivirus tool like FortectIntego to scan your system. If you choose the manual removal, you can find its instructions as well as read more about the dangers of this virus in this article: TorrentLocker virus. How to Remove?.
Good luck and stay safe,
