CryptoLocker threat is designed to encrypt certain files found on infected computers and keep them in that form until the user agrees to pay a ransom that can be as high as a few thousand dollars.
Currently, there is no way to recover encrypted files without backups or system restore points. That's why the best way to protect yourself from CryptoLocker is to take a proactive approach.
Bitdefender's Anti-CryptoLocker can protect your files by blocking the malware's access to C&C servers. Since the ransomware can no longer retrieve the public key from the server, it cannot encrypt the files.
The tool is easy to use and set up. It can be set to run when Windows starts, so you don't have to worry about monitoring it.
You can download Bitdefender Anti-CryptoLocker from Softpedia.
