Format. Lose your shit. Be more careful next time.

rip out the LAN cable. pave the disk. don't risk infecting whatever system you'll be installing for the next week.

you're about to lose all your data anyway due to some asshole encrypting everything.

thanks ! how long do i have ? can i save my shit before i format ?

>>135798

Time is running out while that os is infected and running. Boot off linux os and backup what you can from there.

i use windows. should i backup ?

>>135806

I would just format. I could gve detailed instructions but on phone and doubt you'd get it.

>>135807
im backing up some of the shit i have rn. am i fucking up ?

>>135798
negative 1 hour. you know that monthly back-up you never did? yeah, that's the one you need right now.

you could get away with backing up some shit, but accessing files for transfer via USB while they get encrypted might also kill your system. and the bigger danger: i don't know if they actually do that, but there is a theoretical risk that whatever thing you caught infects USB devices. personally i wouldn't plug anything that has been connected to your infected system into your new system. or at least look at it safely from linux or something first and scan it three times before you do.

i use a USB connected device which i pray will work. i dont care for alot of the shit ill loose. but there is no sign that there is anything wrong atm
