Howdy,
1st time posting so please excuse me if I'm not following protocol. About a month ago I got a virus and I did some looking around the web and I believe it might be some form of "ransomware". When I realized it, I did a system restore from a week prior and everything seemed to be running fine. To be honest, I only use my PC to play World of Warcraft and to house photos and itunes. Well, last night I took some photos of the sunset and when I uploaded them I noticed all my previous photos now had ".html" at the end of them. I opened up itunes and had no music and looked and all my music also had ".html" at the end. I looked in properties and all the files were Created/Modified/Accessed. Anyway, I don't really care about the music, easy to repurchase/download that, but I'm a bit depressed about all my photos. I looked around and couldn't find anything promising about being able to decrypt/save/recover this. Any thoughts or suggestions? I was going to just burn all my photos "as is" onto DVD-Rs and just wipe my whole PC, but before I go through the hassle, I thought I'd ask around the web. Thank you kindly in advance.
