Cryptowall need help
in Malwarebytes for Windows Support Forum
Posted
Ran mbam a few times and I believe Cryptowall was removed. However, issues remain.
However, Windows XP continues to open ransom note
file:///C:/Users/Bob/DECRYPT_INSTRUCTION.HTML
and to Notepad

Also have dll file issues.
Microsoft Security Essentials will not run. System is slow.
Since many files are corrupted by Cryptowall, my view is purchase a non infected computer then use Malwarebytes Secure Backup to salvage any files on infected puter. Transfer salvaged files to new puter. Completely wipe hard drive of infected puter. Purchase Windows 7 and install on wiped hard drive, down load files from Malwarebytes Secure Backup on to wiped drive.
Is this plan tenable or would I be better off attempting to attack vestiges of Cryptowall on drive now?
Will install Windows 7. Better now or after removal of Cryptowall vestiges?
