    I am sorry to say that unfortunately you have been hit by a ransomware. If you have backup/images, best is to recover from them. I will ask this thread to be moved to Security forum, as you will get a better response there.

    Check Locker 1.2 Virus. Help 70 hours left! Encryption virus., it is the same issue.

    Jayvee24,
