basically i had an email from a mail company saying an item has been detained with an attachment. long story short i downloaded it and it opened as .zip in winrar, i didnt open anything when it opened in winrar and deleted it after i downloaded it. i've scanned my pc with malware bytes and it doesnt come up with anything but im still worried. can anyone help?

 

thanks

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.

It could be encrypted so your AV wont detect it

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."

 

try to reset your PC to a specific time. Good luck mate

Since your files are not encrypted, don't worry.

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
