Answer» Interesting... Curiously killed the cat! I 'curiously' botched my security rant...Quote from: evilfantasy on November 13, 2013, 05:23:04 PM I 'curiously' botched my security rant... Sorry... that was meant for Geek's reply above...which i just re-read and i stick to my reply...I knew it was to Geek I compulsively re-read my replies. It's nearly a sickness at times...Quote from: patio on November 13, 2013, 04:54:39 PM I have no idea what the 1st part of your reply means...Pardon my babel. My intent was to say the threat is very real. But so often somebody claims it is easy to fix the problem. It is not easy to fix. As Evil Fantasy said, you have to have backups and even a backup plan. It requires forethought. Here is a short list of PC Backup Plans Single Computer or Personal Backups The idea is that the backup has to be separate from your computer and has to be updated frequently. Also, search for Free Cloud Storage.The exception of SugarSync that list of backups is crap. IMO MyPC Backup should be considered malware. I had the pleasure of removing it from a PC last week.Quote from: evilfantasy on November 14, 2013, 06:22:10 AM The exception of SugarSync that list of backups is crap. IMO MyPC Backup should be considered malware. I had the pleasure of removing it from a PC last week. Agreed. Crashplan is my cloud backup of choice. That aside, I read about this malware the other day, nasty stuff but easily avoided considering real shipping notifications aren't usually a double extension (fake) PDF in a zip file.CryptoPrevent is a tiny utility to lock down any Windows OS to prevent infection by the Cryptolocker malware or ‘ransomware’, which encrypts personal files and then offers DECRYPTION for a paid ransom.
