Yeah its new its 0-day malware but look at the website of surfright they say '' Since malware authors are very creative with code packers and polymorphic engines we see that new or zero-day versions of ransomware cannot be timely detected using just antivirus signatures. Its fine, I reset the pc, thankfully it was my secondary pc and didnt have important files. TeslaCrypt and Alpha Crypt Ransomware Information Guide and FAQ TeslaCrypt ransomware changes its name to Alpha CryptīleepingComputer also host a FAQ covering the TeslaCrypt and Alpha Crypt infections, so if you want to read more about them, and see what you can do next, I suggest you to consult it. Grinler, Lawrence Abrams (the Owner and Founder of BleepingComputer) might also ask you to upload samples of your files in order to find a way to decrypt the files for free. are found, this thread will have all the information in it. So if any free recovery method, decrypter, etc. Everything about this Cryptoware will be posted in that thread. If you want, there's currently a Support thread dedicated to Alpha Crypt on BleepingComputer. I would follow 1PW's advice and get checked in the malware removal section here on Malwarebytes Forums.

This is only a possibility, something else might have happened as well. Maybe it uses techniques that aren't countered by HitmanPro.Alert, hence why it failed to protect you. Since Alpha Crypt is pretty new, it's possible that HitmanPro.Alert wasn't updated to block it at the moment. ezz extension, it's because they have been encrypted with Alpha Crypt. I switched my antivirus to Avira Pro and MBAM premium. MBAM premieum would have protected me but I only had free.

I clicked on a link from skype to download this virus and I didnt have mbam premieum, only free so yep it got inside and my antivirus avast did nothing either and hitmanpro alert failed so.

this means 99% top av vendors would let this virus destroy peoples files forever. they promise protection against cryptolockers but it failed. I am using latest version 3 with updated build to latest version so thats not the problem and everything is enabled. Its fair because they literally say on their website how it protects against cryptolockers and has every ticks in protection etc bragging. SurfRight and HitmanPro.Alert are totally legitimate and efficient, so I find it a bit unfair to bash the program like this without giving us more information. Is it possible to know what exact 'ransomware' you downloaded and used? Also, which version if HitmanPro.Alert did you use, v2 or v3? The original CryptoLocker infection doesn't exist anymore, since it has been disrupted by Operation Tovar during the Summer of 2013.
