Is .GARAHOWUZ (in all caps) the actually extension appended to your encrypted files?
Did you find any ransom notes?
If so, what is the actual name of the ransom note? Was it GARAHOWUZ.README.txt?
Can you provide (copy & paste) the ransom note contents in your next reply?
In addition to coping & pasting the ransom note...
Please attach the original (unedited) ransom note and several samples of encrypted files (different formats - doc, png, jpg) AND its original (unencrypted) file in a "zip file" for comparison so our crypto malware experts can manually inspect them and possibly identify/confirm the infection if they see this topic. To attach files....Click the More Reply Options button in the bottom right corner of the Board Editor, then click the Choose File button under Attach Files.

Since the infection has been identified by rivitna....rather than have everyone with individual topics, it would be best (and more manageable for staff) if you posted any more questions, comments or requests for assistance in the above support topic discussion. To avoid unnecessary confusion, this topic is closed.
Thanks
