Cryptographic Locker
Cryptographic Locker is a ransomware infection that will encrypt different kinds of files (.doc, .docx, .pdf, .xlsx, .jpeg, etc.) and will not allow you to access them unless you pay a ransom. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees that you will receive the key to unlock them, which is why we believe that there is no point in paying money.

clicup
Even though Clicup is usually identified as a potentially undesirable program, we believe it to be completely undesirable. The application does not present beneficial services, and its activity is highly clandestine. In fact, most users whose computers this suspicious PUP is running on are unlikely to know about this at all.

Note that if you terminate this process, the application will not be removed alongside. In fact, if you do not delete Clicup, the running process will regenerate as soon as you restart the computer. ...
