I am providing a link to bleeping computers, because they have good information. It will be at the end of the post. The one thing I have heard is paying the $300 ransom to these crooks to try and remove the encryption. This sounds ridiculous to me. You are giving your credit card number to the crooks with your private information. I will keep my eyes open for any fixes for this that come along.

This is generally a virus that infects network computers. There are some precautions you can take to try and prevent it. It usually comes in through email posing as something from ups, fedex etc....
