CryptoLocker was a ransomware that infected systems around 2013, encrypting users' files and demanding ransom payments in Bitcoin to decrypt the files. It targeted computers worldwide, encrypting files and requiring victims to pay ransom, typically around $300 worth of Bitcoin, to receive decryption keys. An international operation took down CryptoLocker's distribution network in June 2014, but similar ransomware variants using the CryptoLocker name have emerged since.

That Trojan scrambled your hard disk after 90 days, and instructed you to send $378 to an accommodation address in Panama. https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2013/10/12/destructive-malware-cryptolocker-on-the-loose/ FYI

Since then there have been numerous ransomware infections that have been released that utilize the CryptoLocker name. It should be noted that these infections are not the same infection that is discussed below. If you have recently been infected with something that is calling itself CryptoLocker, you are most likely infected with the TorrentLocker infection http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/cryptolocker-ransomware-information
