New Trojan that Demands a Ransom

There is a new virus out there discovered by virus hunters known as "Cryzip". The Trojan encrypts your files and then demands a $300 ransom for the decryption password to get your files back. After encrypting the files, the virus leaves a nice step-by-step guide of how to go about paying the ransom off. It's supposedly spread through email Spam, and has successfully evaded anti-virus scanners.

Trojan on TPU

The one for ATItool is a false positive. Sometimes AV software reports ATITool or GPU-Z as malicious programs because they view/modify driver files. Wherever you got that information hasn't been updated in years. If it makes you feel better I clicked the link, download the file, and scanned it with no result. It's a link to our download server containing an old beta of ATITool. Most likely ATITool contains code somewhere in it that is similar to a trojan (this is not uncommon for software I can list a whole slew of quality programs that get flagged falsely by Anti-Virus for this reason) and it was flagged by a heuristic scanning engine of some AV as a precaution until it was verified as safe.

 

Virus Trojan:32/Wacatac.DC!ml not completely remediated on Windows PC

One more time, looking for help on this. I go through the extensive list of steps above, including running script, adaware, cleaner and emisoft. No problems noted. I make sure the temp file and WD Service files are empty. I shut down the computer. In the morning I start up and a notification says WD has blocked wacatack trojan. The time listed is the time I shut down.

Anyone?
