I would like to ask you guys to tell me what is the best program what could protect my computer from that virus? What should i avoid if i don't want to get that virus? Thanks for the time, any help is greatly appreciated :) 

Information of TeslaCrypt

TeslaCrypt is a new ransom virus similar to Cryptowall or Cryptolocker.Usually this kind of virus can infiltrate into the computer through spam email attachment, malicious links or hacked sites, etc. Once gets into the computer, TeslaCrypt will change the computer setting including the system files and registry entries. It can run automatically at the background without any consent. It can encrypt the files on the compromise computer and ask the victims to pay money to get the decrypted key.



TeslaCrypt will create a file called: HELP_TO_DECRYPT_YOUR_FILES.txt to show the instruction to get the key to recover your file. TeslaCrypt accepts payments from PayPal My Cash with the ransom of $ 1000, or $ 500 by bitcoin.



However, it is no guarantee.It is not suggested to pay for the ransom. There seems to be some labs or online services which allow infected users to retrieve their private key by uploading a sample file, and then receive a decryption tool. But most of the experts states that the only method you have of restoring your files is from a backup or Shadow Volume Copies if you have System Restore enabled. It is suggested to remove TeslaCrypt immediately to prevent further damage. And it is recommended to keep a powerful and well-known antivirus program like Spyhunter to protect your computer.
