I emailed them last night and this was their reply:
The FixMeStick will remove the Cryptolocker virus off your computer if in the case you do accidentally get it. However, if the virus encrypts your files the FixMeStick (or anyone) will not be able to decrypt your files without the key from the author of Cryptlocker. Which means you would have to pay them. I strongly suggest to keep back-ups of your files regularly and also have system restore points. That way if you do get the virus then the FixMeStick will remove it and you will have either a copy of your files or be able to go back to a restore point before you got the virus and still have them.
This is one particularly nasty virus.. |
If there is a cleansing agent for this nasty, there should also be some sort of vaccine.. or not?
Once half of your files are gone, it's already too late.
