You might be able to reboot in Safe mode and do a system restore.

Any computer store can fix it for about $100. You might lose data though.

Probably safest thing if you don’t have a system backup is to get any valuable files off of there of you haven’t already and use recovery media to reinstall windows from scratch.

Not going to be able to offer specific recommendations without more info. Like OS, backup systems, which ransomeware, networked computer, etc.
There are some trojans that are spoof ransomeware, so knowing what you have is important.

I thought something was up yesterday when the text in your posts were complete gibberish, a non-nonsensical string of random keyboard characters. How would that relate to this?

Two quick considerations: if your personal data (pix, documents, etc) are backed up somewhere else, and you have the operating system disk, slick your system completely and start over. If there are data on the disk that are irreplaceable, you've messed up, and you may find yourself in the position of having to pay the ransom or kiss the data goodbye.
Your best defense against this sort of thing is (1) make frequent backups, and (2) keep copies of your most important data on removable media such as thumb drives so they aren't physically available to be hijacked. Hope it works out for you, and if I can help FReempmail me when you can.

Hard drives are cheap. Pull yours and put it in an external case. Install a new one internally and load a clean system. Then access the bad drive externally. Use a file program to access the external disk and get your data files off of it, then reformat it.

Most ransom ware encrypts the hard drive. If that is the case you have little option other than a wipe, restore and recover from backup.
To: lafroste
I did a system restore, and I’m back. Thank you all for your help. The original post was from my phone. That explains its brevity.

Unplug or force shut down. Start up run virus scan. Some of these things are not really viruses but tracking cookies.
