    You can upgrade the latest signature to clean it.

    In addition to AV, are you running IPS, firewall, download insight and SONAR?

    These are all added layers of security

    Hi S_S,

    See this thread:

    CryptoLocker/CryptoDefense Defenses . . .
    https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/cryptolockercryptodefense-defenses

    Just to stress point #3: be sure to always keep all of your definitions up to date!  Protection against the latest variants in circulation is constantly added.

    Hope this helps!
