    CryptorBit is another Ransomware and appears to be a spin off from the now well known Cryptolocker and was probably coded by someone not quite as clever as those who developed Cryptolocker, as CryptorBit is a much simpler code or program.
    It does appear to have encrypted files and folders, however not quite as heavily as Cryptolocker does and there are ways out without paying the ransom.

    More here from our friends at BC with instructions for decryption.
