Per viewer suggestion, I take a look at the subtle differences you may notice if you pay (or find a key) for a fake antivirus program. I don't really recommend this anymore for reasons explained in the video.

NOTE: As of August 6th 2014, the information about Cryptolocker in this video is obsolete. Security researchers managed to procure ALL private keys and decryption is now possible for everyone. Simply follow the link, submit an encrypted file and your private key will be emailed to you: https://www.decryptcryptolocker.com/
After two months of struggling, I finally give CryptoLocker a somewhat in depth review. More information about the ransomware can be found here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/cryptolocker-ransomware-information
Note: Removal for this malware is trivial, since once your files are encrypted, no antivirus can restore them. One can use Malwarebytes to remove the program, but the files will still be damaged.")
