    Is the system infected by the Locky ransomware?

    Original title:- Transfer of Locky ransom infection

    I recently purchased a new desktop and in the process of setting it up managed to accidently click on a link that installed the Locky Ransomware. As it was a new PC I reinstalled Windows 10 and, having scanned the PC for viruses several times and checked
    for Locky indicators (as per McAfee KB) I am now confident that the Ransomware has been removed from the PC.

    At the time of setting the PC up, I was also logged into my laptop, under the same Microsoft account. The wallpaper on this laptop changed to display the Locky Ransomware instruction but I have not noticed any other indicators of the ransomware on
    the laptop. I have scanned the laptop several times and checked for Locky indicators (as per McAfee KB). No files have been encrypted on the laptop and the Locky.txt file is not on it. I have identified 3 files related to Locky, all image files:

    Locky-ransomware(1).png

    Locky-ransomware-decrypt(1).htm

    Locky-ransomware-decrypt(1).png

    I think that the laptop is clear of the ransomware (and never had it) and that is was only the Desktop Wallpaper image linked to my Microsoft account that was shared and displayed on the laptop. Please can you let me know if this assumption is correct
    or advise on further checks that I should complete. At present I am keeping the laptop offline.

    ZEPTO Virus effected my excel files

    Your files got encrypted by a new variant of Locky Ransomware, see
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-locky-version-adds-the-zepto-extension-to-encrypted-files/

    If you don't have a backup of your files, there is currently no possibility to decrypt your files without paying the ransom, see

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/618447/files-encrypted-with-the-extension-zepto/

    For further help and/or information I suggest to ask/read/post in
