Hello! Can anyone help me with Cerber infection? Yesterday I got Cerber pop-up stating that my documents, photos, databases and other files have been encrypted. And in order to decrypt my files I must pay 1.24 BTC. Unfortunately I don’t have hard drive backups and also I don’t have any bitcoins to pay for decryption. Bleeping computer says that at this point there is no known way to decrypt a victim's encrypted files for free. (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/new...ly-encrypts-your-data-but-also-speaks-to-you/). I also tried manual removal instructions http://manual-removal.com/cerber/ but nothing happened and my files aren’t available.Maybe someone has encountered this problem and knows the way how to decrypt files for free?
Cerber ransomware?

err, if BC cannot help, sorry, only thing I can see is to reformat & start again ... you have just realised the importance of having an up-to-date backup, especially of important data. Sorry to state the obvious. 
I never open emails, that's what me phone is for, I never keep important information on my PC, that's what pen-n-paper are for ... once again, sorry to hear you got caught by these scumbags, but there's not a lot, at the moment, one can do. If we find these people we are not allowed to shoot them, nor castrate them.

Stop going to dodgy sites will help also & run a decent firewall, antivirus and malwarebytes
