itman 1,922 Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Sounds to me like you possibly got nailed by ransomware. Check and see if all the files w/extensions you mention have all the same suffix e.g. document.xxxxx where xxxxx is the same character string. Edited July 21, 2016 by itman

That's likely as abidnaif mentioned that he or she has v4.2 installed which is quite old and does not provide as good protection against new borne threats as new versions with LiveGrid.
Most Valued Members shocked 60 Posted July 22, 2016 Most Valued Members Posted July 22, 2016 that is very unfortunate. i suggest to download and install the latest version of Eset Smart Security, as it introduces and contains new and enhanced features to protect from these kinds of attacks. in your title you mention Nod32 and in the post Smart Security.either way i will give you the links to each program and download the one you use. Smart Security Nod32
