I'm not a computer expert, but it sounds live you got the virus randomware. The virus is thought to infiltrate your computer when you click on a legitimate looking attachment or through existing malware lurking on your hard drive, and once unleashed it instantly encrypts all your files, barring access to a single photo or tax receipt. Sadly, I heard there is no way to get rid of it, but to pay the ransom. :(
P.S. I got the info from The New York Times website.
