Thanks dbrisen I really appreciate your help. I take it that without any previous versions of my files there is no way to decrypt them. Once again thank you.

The infection did not delete the files, it encrypt them, if only I could get the key to decrypt them.

I understand but here's the thing about these Ransomware infections; the keys used are anywhere from 1024 bits to 4096 bits. Experts have estimated that it would take modern computers 100~150 years to break the encryption codes.
You can check on BleepingComputer.com (they have a great area about these infections and some directions on help decoding the files) or Kaspersky Labs for the latest information and tips on how to protect from or prepare yourself for these attacks.
Sorry we couldn't do more but ....

In going over my notes it seems I forgot to have you clean our tools off your system (MY bad)
We need to remove the tools we've used during the cleaning of your machine. [/a] Ensure the following is ticked: - Activate UAC
- Remove disinfection tools
- Create registry backup
- Purge system restore
- Reset system settings
[/ul] Then click Run. The program will run for a few moments and then notepad will open with a log. Please paste the log in your next reply. Once you have the log file saved, please reboot your system to complete the clean up process. Your system looks clean and your logs are fine. Unless you want something else done, you are done and free to go.Final words from me: Surf safely, and watch when installing or letting anything add itself to your system. Remember, the best security is not on your system but in the chair in front of it. Take care and thanks for sticking with us in this rushed time. Consider a program that will check for out-of-date programs on your systemSome programs don't have update checks built in or make you run the application to start the check for updates process. An easier way to stay on top of the current versions of your installed programs is to use a version checking program like Heimdal Free from Heimdal Security (you can get the software from here and read more about it on the same page). === options ====Unchecky is a small service that runs in the background to help keep those "extra toolbars" and tag along search engines from automatically installing. By automatically directing you to a custom install with all the options unchecked, only what you manually choose and confirm gets installed. CryptoPrevent is a free program that prevents CryptoLocker / ransomware from infecting your PC by locking down the OS so the malware can not get a grip on your system. You can read the details about this program here. Also, consider adding MalwareBytes Antimalware to your arsenal of safe keeping programs. Use the free version (not the paid or trial version) and you won't have a problem with your antivirus scanner program. Keep it updated and run a scan with it once a week. Lastly, if you use Firefox as your main web browser, consider adding the NoScript and AdBlockPlus add-ons to the browser to block scripting hijacks and remove unwanted ads from the pages you view. You may also find some information and tips at this thread: How did I get infected in the first place?and COMPUTER SECURITY - a short quide to staying safer online
I'll leave this topic open for a few days so that if you have any questions you can come back here. Surf safe, my friend!!
