First, if you do not already have Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit, then get it / install it. Even if you simply install it as a free-mode program.

We have a free version that protects against exploit attacks in your browsers and Java, and a paid version that also protects additional applications such as MS Office.
MBAE provides passive protection. It runs in the background.

You should ideally have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium for active realtime-protection.

In brief, no one single program is going to give you a all-perfect shield. A lot depends on what computer users do, their daily safety practices, and the security protocol at your place.

Our softwares detect the most prevalent malwares out in the wild. But there is no guarantee whatever if one single computer user at your place lets their guard down, and for example, opens a bad attachment or is super quick to click without checking, especially with email.
In addition, be aware that crypto ransomwares continusously evolve and has rapid change cycles. Newer versions are coming out quicker. Thus "their tell-tale fingerprints" change all the time.

Please keep in mind that your antivirus is in the front line of your computer protection.
Next, comes your software firewall.
and hopefully somewhere, ahead of your computer’s internet connection is a hardware router. ( another layer of protection).
Only after all these, does our software come into the picture. It is designed as a supplement.
That is a brief rundown on the need for a layered set of protections.

No one single security application can detect and remove all threats, it’s a statistical impossibility.

We update MBAM as many as a dozen times per day and are always researching and adding new detection and removal routines to the database.
Our research team is constantly analyzing and reviewing new infections for inclusion into our database. With the prevalence of new variants and infections the staff is working around the clock.
All security programs will still not be able to catch everything at some point, this is a given known fact and is the main reason why security professionals across the globe strongly advocate a ‘layered’ approach to security:
Dedicated antivirus
Dedicated antimalware
Third party firewalls
Backups on a regular basis of all important personal documents, files, etc. Backup is your best friend.

Other notes:
Safer practices & malware prevention:
Follow best practices when browsing the Internet, especially on opening links coming from untrusted sources.
Never open attachments that come with unexpected ( out of the blue ) email no matter how enticing.
Never open attachments from the email itself. Do not double click in the email. Always Save first and then scan with antivirus program.

Never click links without first hovering your mouse over the link and seeing if it is going to an odd address ( one that does not fit or is odd looking or has typos).

Use a Standard user account rather than an administrator-rights account when "surfing" the web.
See more info on Corrine's SecurityGarden Blog http://securitygarden.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_7.html
Dont remove your current login. Just use the new Standard-user-level one for everyday use while on the internet.


Have a hardware router between the incoming internet-modem and your computer.

Configure your Antivirus software to check for updates daily, at a time in which you are sure the computer will be on.

Check in at Windows]http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com]WindowsUpdate and install any Important Updates offered.

Make certain that Automatic Updates is enabled.
How to configure and use Automatic Updates in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525

Pay close attention when installing 3rd-party programs. It is important that you pay attention to the license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed.
Take great care in every stage of the process and every offer screen, and make sure you know what it is you're agreeing to before you click "Next".

Check on other update issues as well, by getting, installing and using Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) on a regular basis.
See How to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs using Secunia Personal Software Inspector
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial174.html

Keep your system and programs up to date. Several programs release security updates on a regular basis to patch vulnerabilities. Keeping your software patched up prevents attackers from being able to exploit them to drop malware.

A few days ago to get infected CryptoWall 3.0. Virus was stopped in time. Luckily I did not have much damage to my personal files.How can I protect myself with your software in the future.

Are you very sure that "it was really stopped" ?

That message you showed in the 2nd post indicates that the infector really did get thru onto the computer.

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit (MBAR) and save it to your desktop,

from here

http://downloads.malwarebytes.org/file/mbar/

•Doubleclick on the *MBAR-1.09.3.1001.exe* file you downloaded and approve the UAC prompt in Windows 7, Vista or Windows 8, 8.1 and newer Windows systems.

•Click *OK* on the next screen, to allow the package to extract the contents of the file to its own folder, mbar.

•mbar.exe will launch automatically. On some systems, this may take a few extra seconds. Please be patient and wait for the program to open.

•After reading the Introduction, click '*Next*' if you agree.

•On the Update Database screen, click on the '*Update*' button. <<<-- That is important !

•Once you see 'Success: Database was successfully updated' click on 'Next'.

•Click the '*Scan*' button.

With some infections, you may see two messages boxes.

1.'Could not load protection driver'. Click 'OK'.

2.'Could not load DDA driver'. Click 'Yes' to this message, to allow the driver to load after a restart. Allow the computer to restart. Continue with the rest of these instructions.

•If malware is found, do *NOT* press the Cleanup button when the scan completes. Click EXIT.

Then, please send the following logs as attachments to your reply. These logs are located in the mbar folder on your desktop where the tool extracted itself to.

*mbar-log-2015-11-11 (xx-xx-xx).txt* (where mm-dd (xx-xx-xx) is the Month & Day date and time of the scan)

+ also

*system-log.txt*

I need to have both of those files attached in your next reply. Thanks. *Send even if nothing is reported as detected. Always send these.*

There will be more to do later.

You indicated that you installed the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

 

Let us please do a Custom Scan run like this.  Start the Anti-Malware program. Click Scan icon.
Then next please click the CUSTOM Scan.
Then make sure you select the *C:* drive    ( as shown on the right side of the picture below).   We want to scan drive *C*
Then look and be sure that the line Scan for rootkits has a check-mark.  If it does not not, click that box 1 time.
The scanning for rootkits is important.

Then press Scan now.

 
when and if presented by Scan Results.
Kindly be real sure that each one of the  lines detected  has a CHECK-mark in the checkbox.  
Then press the button marked *Remove Selected.*

After all is done. please attach the log-report file with your next email reply.

The report run result is good.  No malware detected.

You need to know that latest versions of ransomware remove themselves right after they have done their dirty deed.

The infector is gone.

If you found any damaged files, you should copy them off and back them up onto a external drive.  In the hope that maybe in the future, somebody may come up with a working decryptor utility to help get back your personal files.

 

As I see, that this operating system is Windows XP........

IF you must stay on Windows XP, then please be sure to read and apply the suggestions by Susan Bradley
