Infected with Decrypt Protect Virus and all my files, Pictures, excels or words have been converted to HTML extension. My computer caught a horrible virus last night that totally locked my desktop. I cannot access my files or run any program on the PC. All I can see on the screen was a warning with the title called Online Security. And on the left side, it said something like MBL Advisory and also showed me Decrypt Protect on the top. I believed it was a virus because it required me to pay a fine of 300$ to unlock computer. I have managed to unlock my computer in safe mode. However, I found that all of my files are encrypted including documents, videos, images, etc. How do I unlock my computer and decrypt all the files?

Why Your Files Are Encrypted By Decrypt Protect Virus? How Does This Virus Work?

Decrypt Protect Virus (also called Online Security Virus/MBL Advisory Virus) is a ransomware computer infection designed to block your computer and encrypt your files with a HTML file, making victims not able to access their desktop and files. Users may get this virus installed by clicking malicious code or distribute unsafe advertising pop-ups, visiting pornographic website or downloading attachment from spam emails. As soon as it is downloaded, victims will see the computer locked immediately. After that, they will get message like:

You have 48 hours left to enter your payment.
You have lost control over your computer. Your system and all your files has been blocked and encrypted because you were spreading Malware (viruses, Trojans, worms).
You are breaking numerous International and USA laws.

Obviously, this warning is fabricated. This Decrypt Protect virus will configure itself to start automatically by modifying your registry entries. Thus, every time you log in Windows, you will see a warning which states that your data and computer will be inaccessible unless you pay a fine of $300 within 48 hours by using the Moneypak card. It further warns that if you wait longer than 48 hours, local authorities and secret service will be contacted, and most likely it will result in your arrest. This ransomware works as similar as the most popular one called FBI Virus. But it is more aggressive as it can encrypt all your files stored with the extension of txt, doc, xml, dat, docx, pst, .xls in your computer and rename them as a HTML file which means you have no chance to access your files any more. To threaten unwary users further, it even displays your IP address and poses to be a serious case by giving you the order number and counting down the tracking time.
