|Abstract=Win32/VirLock is ransomware that locks victims’ screens but also acts as parasitic virus, infecting existing files on their computers. The virus is also polymorphic, which makes it an interesting piece of malware to analyze. This is the first time such combination of malware features has been observed.

NOTE: Victims can restore their VirLock-infected files using our standalone cleaner, available for download at http://download.eset.com/special/ESETVirlockCleaner.exe
