So for the past few weeks I have been planning on switching from windows 7 to Ubuntu (14.04) with windows running in a VM for whenever I need it. 2 days ago my antivirus complained to me that I had a virus, and I ignored it, figuring that it would matter 24 hours from then.

Yesterday, I backed up all my files (including the AppData folder) to my external hard-drive. This morning, confident all my files were copied, I erased my old OS and started creating my ideal Ubuntu environment.

At first, I din't notice anything wrong with my files, because all of my PHP files were untouched. Then I noticed all of my image files (including PSD's) were encrypted and now had the standard ransom-ware message asking for $300.

The original files were unaffected, but all of my copies were. Anything super important was backup up via a git repo, but many of my PSD's are now encrypted.

My Question: Does anyone know how I can unencrypt my files?

Here is an example of one of my encrypted files: apache-directory-index.png.enc.rtf (clean)
