What is JobCrypter Ransomware
JobCrypter is a cryptovirus that encrypts user files using the 3DES algorithm and adding .locked or .css extension to these files. The virus encrypts the most important files of various formats, such as office documents, PDF files, photos and videos and so on. We give some examples of encrypted files:
sea.png.locked
tables.xls.css
document.docx.css
after encryption, the virus creates Comment débloquer mes fichiers.txt and Readme.txt text file containing information about the ransom in French:

All this is a lie, do not pay anyone! The only goal of developers is to get your money. They do not decrypt your files. It is better to use our instructions and recommendations to remove JobCrypter and decrypt .locked and .css files.
