Yep, that the same stuff I had a few weeks ago. I refuse to pay a ransom to anybody; instead I bough a refurbished Dell from WalMart for $129 plus tax. Not only did I save money by not paying a ransom, I got a new computer to replace my aging six-year-old computer.

I got hit by that shit a few months ago. Fuggers got everything, but not one dime of my money. Some of my stuff was backed up, so no big deal. Lost a few pictures, and other things are stashed elswehere. Hope they weren't counting on me to pay them.....

I too hope they aren't targeting members here. I have never, ever looked at an e-mail or its attachment unless I recognized the sender. My anti-virus never finds anything dangerous, although it does remove a few cookies. How I got the virus I'll never know.

Maybe we got it from that shitty bottle of booze (what I really mean is first class stuff) I sent you? Just sayin'!

Serious though.. I do not even use a internet condom.. and hard to say where you got it.. it's nothing to be embarrassed about like catching the clap. And no worries about getting it here... if they were targeting people here, someone would catch on quick! as we have quite a few really net savy people here.. I use to use AVG free, but the computer I am using these days is too slow to use it as they have to update daily and uses up a lot of resources. I'm just careful about where I go and what I do on the net, but download pdf manuals all the time without worries. But I never ever open email attachments from anyone! as even trusted people you personally know.. get their emails hijacked all of the time. |

FYI most people get the cryptolocker from Ads. They are embedded in the ad, especially video ads.If you go to naughty sites especially.
Google is HORRIBLE with their Ad security so that is where most of these assholes dump their malware/virus infected ads and videos. Download adblocker plus. Kills ads dead. ALWAYS keep backups of your valuable info, pictures, videos and music on a separate drive with NO links to your network attached devices as cryptolocker will go through EVERY mapped drive or shortcut it can. |

I always thought google policed their ads fairly well though.. but quit using Clicksor for that very reason.. Also found that once you put their ad scripts in your page, they tend to duplicate themself and make it hard to get rid of Clicksor.. If even one of my customers gets drama... this is not good for me.. For my own surfing.. I use a Mozilla app called Bluhell, that blocks all ads, mainly to save page load times as I have a really slow internet connect here. |
