The only way to get your files back is to follow the 4 steps below. As soon as the ransom will be paid, you will see the decryptor program on the Desktop folder. Do not try to recover your files whitout a decrypt program, you may damage them and then they will be impossible to recover. (If you dont know how to, just search it on YouTube, like How to download Exodus) 1.Download Exodus 2.Get some Bitcoin for 300$ (in USD) 3.Swap Bitcon to Monero 4.Send the Monero to this address: 4BKcz4x1tJg7Tqr2nKJ1Ug2totBBP54E9F8UkY79vK8nQaShnzFtPr872s6jGV3TRPMAGzrZdBG7UMa3XFar4fg49eHDw9W -- Oh, and if you decide you dont want to pay or take too much time, well all your files, and information we know about you WILL be transfered to the FBI.
