Nobody knows how to remove cryptolocker virus?
Thanks
Correct
However
Depends on which version of the virus you have. Pre April can be easily fixed and removed. Post April it can be still removed however more difficult to recover the locked files.
Hi,
Yes, CyptLocker can be dangerous, as it is a ransomware that are designed to block access of system and the hackers force you to pay ransom for decryption and recovering files. Mostly, the system gets infected with these Cryptlocker through attachments with fake emails. When the user opens the attachment, the program starts encrypting the file on your system and hide itself. After that it will ask for the key to decrypt the system, that you need to buy.
There is a solution for the removing Cryptlocker either you pay the ransom, but that will encourage the developer to create more such programs or remove the cryptlocker using from the registry.
The Program will infect some particular files of our system and save its file with random filename to the %AppData% or local AppData% location. You can refer to the following locations in the registry-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Microsoft \Windows\Current\CurrentVersion\Run” CrypLocker”
HKEY _CURRENT_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce”*CrypLocker”.
HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run”CryptLocker_<”Version_number>”
HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce”*CryptLocker_<Version number>”
HKEY _CURRENT_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
You can refer these locations and remove it manually.
But before this you need to switch to the task manager window to manage running processes. Forthis
Go to the Task Manager Window and Select Processes Tab.
Right click on the malicious program .
Then End Process Tree – As the Key locker creates two processes for infecting the system.It prevents itself from deletion. Using Task manager will terminate both the processes at the same time. This will protect the infected files from deletion.
After this you can use a good antivirus that will clean your system registry and remove all the traces of CryptLocker. You can also remove it, manually referring the above path of registry to remove traces.

Evamendis,
really ) , you should think a bit before posting incomplete/wrong info.
"Cryptolocker" is NOT "Cryplocker" and NOT "CryptLocker".
The Registry paths/info that you posted seem like LARGELY INACCURATE, see this actually complete/correct resource
http//
If a system is infected by the Cryptolocker virus (or any of the same "family") it will encrypt a number of common file types.
There are no issues in removing the virus, the issue is with decrypting the encrypted data.
If you are a victim of the actual Cryptolocker, as DCS1094 posted there is now a way out, that won't however work for all versions, as triran pointed out.
