And all they did was delete the original file/s before making an encrypted version of them. One program (that didnt fix the prob), but could undelete the original file/s was photorec. ie this (support.kaspersky.com)

1157456 2010-11-30 03:29:00 Hmm.. FileScavenger and other file recovery programs should work then, as long as the files aren't overwritten. Agent_24 (57)

1157458 2010-11-30 06:04:00 Eek.. That sounds like true Somalian-style piracy in every aspect. 'We have your goods, now pay to get them back.' :yuck:

I hope the virus author gets hit by a very large rock rolling off a particularly steep mountain.

1157462 2010-11-30 10:25:00 And of course, NZ probably will get hit hard by that. (since apparently we pirate more movies per capita than anywhere else, or so I think it goes)
Can't say they don't deserve it.

1157463 2010-11-30 10:25:00 People are always getting viruses by using Bittorrent.

The problem is they usually don't know things like a movie is not just 34KB and doesn't end in .EXE

Thats still is no excuse to blame torrents. Torrent's, if you are careful can be very safe.
