Charlotte Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 If you are affected by cryptolocker, you are not able to access your files as they will be encrypted. But since malwarebytes does not detect anything and if you can access files, you should be fine at the moment. Some things you can do is to look for any weird processes running in the background for example.
aloevera Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 It could be encrypted so your AV wont detect it 7 hours ago, Charlotte said: If you are affected by cryptolocker, you are not able to access your files as they will be encrypted.

Some cryptolockers have a timer so that it bypasses the antivirus scan. i agree on this part: "Some things you can do is to look for any weird processes running in the background for example." 1

I've been sending a few parcels recently, and one was sent to china and it said it could've been counterfeit goods so i thought it was genuine tbh https://gyazo.com/5374720589824d9c298fa98e13837ebf
