Try this out.
http://filehippo.com...perantispyware/

It gets a lot of shit out. And try it in safe mode too.

Also try a restore point to a time before it happened.

Mind if I ask whats actually going on thats causingy our problem?

From what I found crypt goes along with programming, but can also have Trojans attached to the file commonly in Office.
Any symptoms to your problems?

if its only your office files, check This out and check settings in MS Office
http://netsecurity.a...q_encryptms.htm

If you have any of these settings then just reverse them



Or this which gives explanation about .crypt extensions
http://www.bestsoftw...d-riuyvdeu.html

I know this is talking about the program but it does give an insite and after reading this it seem like They are not reversable
