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 http://www.sevenforums.com/system-s...irus-help-70-hours-left-encryption-virus.html, it is the same issue.

Jayvee24,

It is the latest ransomware.

Have already covered some options here, but, we can't recover files for you:
