Crypt0L0cker ransomware virus removal.
Decrypt .enc extension.

Crypt0L0cker ransomware is new virus substituting the Os with zeros from the genuine cryptolocker ransom name. Apparently this ransomware is the heir of TorrentLocker, with a slight few differences. Both of the ransomwares targets files for encryption in a different way. It is distributed via spam email claiming to be government notices such as speeding fines. Once user open the spam email attachment will get infected. Crypt0L0cker ransomware will encrypt files and lock them, so user is no longer able to open them. To unlock files Crypt0L0cker will demand them for approximately 2 bitcoins. It is interesting that this ransom will target almost all of the countries and skip United States. US based computer systems or with US IP address will not be infected, at least for now.
