For those who aren't entrenched in Windows

Sorry to hear about your situation but I'd never pay anything. You'll probably just end up being out of money. I highly doubt that they'll unlock your files and I doubt that they'd keep them unlocked for long before they pull the same BS.

If any of you are open to trying and installing a new OS I'd suggest it. After you backup your files of course. Here's a link to a easy group of Linux OSs. They're virtually VIRUS FREE. This just flat out wouldn't happen running that as opposed to Windows. Especially XP as you said is no longer supported. Depending on you memory capacity you'll have to check which would be compatible with your machine.

There's also numerous YouTube videos that will demonstrate how to install this onto your machines. It will replace Windows so back up your files. It's fairly simple just following directions.
