Restore your backups. You have backups, right?

Lol! Scam, lekker!

It't not a scam. It's ransomware.

BitLocker malware...

And that's why you don't follow dodgy links on the internet.

Also run a script blocker - and a decent anti-virus.

And keep that bloody machine in quarantine.

You are soooo skrewed! xD I hope for your sake you have FULL system backups!

They apologize for the inconvenience.

Most likely your stuff is safe and something like ADW will remove this gunk.

Still clicking unknown links. You still haven't learned your lesson.

I have read that you can slow the metabolism of your hard drive and stop the spread of this infection by taking it out and leaving it in your fridge overnight.

Other than that, you can try to build a new system and go to the same links you got it from and see if there is a cure out.

Just format and re-click all your clicks, see where it originated from and list it here
