Fixing Cryptowall 2

August 3rd, 2016

Does anyone know how to permanently fix this virus?
Unlike Cryptowall 1 it does not leave the registry files even.
Also i would like to know the best way to recover or decrypt those files except using Shadow Explorer.
There are no system restore points. I have used SpyHunter,malwarebytes,hitmanpro,combofix,adwcleaner.removed temp,%temp%,prefetch,appdata and other files that virus created but all in vain.
Any detailed help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Answer #1
You should try any of the methods found on this site:

Though malwarebytes should be able to handle the problem…
Answer #2
There is no fix right now for Cryptowall 2!
And they have fixed the ‘server’ issues associated with #1 so they can’t be taken down / fix created nearly as easily.
Answer #3
Yea, it seems very nasty I think the FBI just issued a warning about it
It seems the best way to fix it right now would be to have backups, so… You could always pay the ransom if you are really desperate, or wait until a proper fix arrives
Answer #4
@ i will try that out as well.
@ ya thats what seems the problem. i just used Sophos antivirus in safe mode but all it does is detects the virus and quarantines it but doesnt delete it. after reboot its back in action.
