I was searching the internet and came across this interesting news. Apparently a couple of companies called FireEye and Fox-It got together and found a way to get your encrypted data back from the cryptolocker virus. Here is some information from their website and what to do. If anyone reads this please pass it along. I will also provide the website address where I read about this.
FireEye and Fox-IT have partnered to provide free keys designed to unlock systems infected by CryptoLocker.
Please provide your email address [1] and an encrypted file [2] that has been encrypted by CryptoLocker.
This portal will then email you a master decryption key along with a download link to our recovery program that can be used together with the master decryption key to repair all encrypted files on your system.
Please note that each infected system will require its own unique master decryption key. So in case you have multiple systems compromised by CryptoLocker, you will need to repeat this procedure per compromised system.
Notes:
[1] Email addresses will not be used for marketing purposes, nor will they be in any way stored by FireEye or Fox‑IT.
[2] You should only upload encrypted files that do not contain any sensitive or personally identifiable information.
