HDFCryptoPrevent


Protect your computer from the CryptoLocker virus
A new breed of virus is on the loose! Unlike previous breeds this one is particularly nasty because infected users are in danger of losing their data files forever. Once it gets onto your computer, it encrypts all of your data files before making itself known to you through a popup demanding that you send a large sum of money (up to $2,300) in order to receive the decryption key to retrieve your data.
One weakness in this virus is that it installs itself in one of a very limited number of folders on your computer before it activates and causes the damage. The HDFCryptoPrevent tool blocks it from running in those folders.
Please refer to our FAQ at:

Download the tool from:

http://www.hdf.net/download/HDFCryptoPrevent.exe

INSTALLING THE HDFCryptoProtect program



Open a browser and enter the URL above, or simply click on the link to download the file.
Note where your browser downloads the program, so you can locate it. Newer versions of Windows will default to downloading the file to your Download folder.



Double-click the HDFCryptoPrevent.exe file to execute it.





NOTE for Windows 7 users:

If you get an error while trying to install the program, click OK to exit the program and then run it again with administrative rights. To do this, instead of double-clicking the HDFCryptoPrevent.exe file, right-click it and select “Run as administrator”







NOTE for Windows 8 users:

You will probably get the following warning that this app is “risky”. You can ignore this warning. Please click the “More Info” link. This will provide you with the second screen on the right. From there, please click the “Run anyway” button.






You will probably get a User Account Control pop-up window. Please click “Yes” to accept.
Note:



When the program runs, it will start the Crypolocker Prevention Setup Wizard.
Please click the Next button.



Please click the Install button.



This completes the install of the program.

NOTE! You have not yet enabled the protection. That is the next step.


Please make sure the “Apply Cryptolocker Prevent” checkbox is Checked, and then click the Finish button.



You should now see the CryptoPrevent install splash screen. Please wait while the protection is being applied.



Once the protection is applied, you are requested to reboot your computer.
Please close all other programs and then click the Yes button to restart your computer. The protection may not be applied until your computer has been restarted.




Once your computer restarts, you may notice the additional item listed in your Start > All Programs menu: HDF & Associates, LLC
The program has been installed and you are now protected against the Cryptolocker virus. Any programs that may have already existed in the folders being protected will have been added to your WhiteList and will therefore be allowed to run. Any new programs added there (including, of course, the Cryptolocker virus) will be blocked from executing.
To test this protection, please click the “Test Cryptolocker Prevention” item in the menu to the right.



You should see the following window pop-up. This means that a test program has been copied to the protected folder and an attempt has been made to run it. If the run failed (as expected), you will see this window.



Additional options:
If you do not get the “Prevention Successfully Applied” popup as described above, please restart your computer and click the “Test Cryptolocker Prevention” link again. If it still fails, then please click the “Apply Cryptolocker Prevention” link and follow the instructions.
Occasionally, updates will be made to the program. To install them, please click the “Update Cryptolocker Prevention” in the menu.
If you wish to uninstall the program, click the “Uninstall Cryptolocker Prevention” link. This will disable the protection and uninstall the program.
