Acton ransomware removal instructions
What is Acton?

For instance, a file named "sample.jpg" would be renamed to something like "sample.jpg.id[1E857D00-1091].[b.morningtonjones@aol.com].Acton". Encrypted data instantly becomes unusable. Additionally, Acton generates a text ("info.txt") file and an HTML application ("info.hta"), placing both of them on victim's desktop.
