RSA-2048 comes out to encrypt computer files.
RSA-2048 is a ramsomware like CryptoWall. Actually, RSA-2048 is CryptoWall 2.0. Once it breaks into your computers, it will start to scan your every single file and encrypt them. As a result, you will see your file folders contain four files from the ransomware RSA-2048, and a html file, a txt file, a jpg file, a png file and also the Internet shortcut files contain a message from the perpetrators RSA-2048. The files sent by RSA-2048 contain directions about how to pay the ransom and get the files back. As you can see, the file names are all alike and are HELP_DECRYPT.TXT.
Message from the HELP_DECRYPT.TXT file
What happened to your files ?
All of your files were protected by a strong encryption with RSA-2048 using CryptoWall 3.0.
More information about the encryption keys using RSA-2048 can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)
What does this mean ?
This means that the structure and data within your files have been irrevocably changed, you will not be able to work with them, read them or see them,
it is the same thing as losing them forever, but with our help, you can restore them.
How did this happen ?
Especially for you, on our server was generated the secret key pair RSA-2048 - public and private.
All your files were encrypted with the public key, which has been transferred to your computer via the Internet.
Decrypting of your files is only possible with the help of the private key and decrypt program, which is on our secret server.
What do I do ?
Alas, if you do not take the necessary measures for the specified time then the conditions for obtaining the private key will be changed.
If you really value your data, then we suggest you do not waste valuable time searching for other solutions because they do not exist.

You won't make the mistake to pay for the ransom.
According to the other sufferers, paying for the ransom is not the choice. Because there is no sure that you can get back your files after the paying. What you should do now is scan your computer with the strong antivirus program to delete other infections since RSA-2048 is capable of bringing other infections like trojan, adware and browser hijacker to your PC to make worse. After the cleaning the other infections, you can try 3 options restore your files.
How to Try to Restore Files Encrypted by RSA-2048( CryptoWall 2.0)?
Step 1: Remove RSA-2048 and other infections with the Automatic Removal Tool
(You have 2 options for you: click Save or Run to install the program. You are suggested to save it on the desktop if you choose Save so that you can immediately start the free scan by clicking the desktop icon.)
2. The pop-up window box below needs your permission for the setup wizard. Please click Run.
Continue to follow the setup wizard to install the Automatic Removal Tool.
It may take a while to download all the files. Please be patient.
No More Hesitation. Time to scan your PC. Please click Start New Scan/ Scan Computer Now!
Scanning your PC now <<<<<<<<
This is what you should do for so many reasons: click Fix Threats.
( Reminder: Scanning the infected computer to remove other infections is the first step that you may get a chance to recover your files. Skip the scanning part will make you get less chance. Download and install the strong virus removal tool to help you out.)
Step 2: try these options to get back your files.
option1: try backups
If you have been performing backups, then it the first and best method to restore your files from a the latest backup.
option 2: try recovery software
Before delete the original files, RSA-2048 makes a copy before it encrypts. Due to this you are able to use the file recovery software like Photorec or R-Studio to possibly get back some of your original files.
option 3: try shadow volume copies
As of now, if RSA-2048 doesn't delete your 'shadow volume copies, it may be a chance to restore your original files from them.
( Reminder Again: don't give up easily. At least try to download the security tool to block RSA-2048 and try the 3 options to get your files. The options are really worthy your trying.)
