Do you understand that if your files are encrypted and you do not have unencrypted backups of the important files you should not remove the malware until your files are decrypted? The malware is the only thing that will decrypt them. Removing the malware will not decrypt your files.

Just making sure you understand this since you are running that McAfee thing.
