Ransom Malware

[rikbo46]

My computer is infected with a ransom malware, it changed MS Word and PDF files to ODIN FILES. I backed up the registry, made scan logs from Farbar and aswMBR , and have attached them to this post. Can you help fix this?

I'm afraid at this time theres really nothing we can do about this ransomeware infection.

Any files that are encrypted with the newest Locky (.ODIN) ransomware variant will be renamed with random alpha-numerical characters and utilize the .odin extension (i.e. 5FBZ55IG-S575-7GEF-2C7B-5B22862C2225.odin) as described here...http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news...crypted-files/
The ODIN variant will leave files (ransom notes) named _HOWDO_text.html, _HOWDO_text.bmp and _[2_digit_number]_HOWDO_text.html.

Unfortunately, there is no known way to decrypt files encrypted by Locky (Zepto / ODIN) without paying the ransom.
