A word of advice to anybody with a computer or a few. Treat the computer as
a disposable device. Have a storage area network (SAN) device with RAID 1
or 5 redundancy. I have a 6 terabyte cloud an a 2 terabyte on a private
network, but most non IT folks probably could suffice with much less. Any
software you install on any computer on your network should have full
install backups on the SAN along with a text file of the license keys. Any
documents, working files, backups, data, etc goes to the SAN, not the
computer itself. Things that are static (meaning they are archives that
will never change) set to read-only and create a redundant backup on a
cheap portable hard drive encryped and kept in a car or safety deposit box
off site. That includes financial stuff, pictures, music, and wrk stuff. If
a computer gets hijacked or fails, you lose nothing.

If my house were to get blown away by a hurricane, I would be able to
recover every client, intelectual property, picture, mp3, and data I have
ever saved witin hours of buying a new laptop.

Paranoia is good and the geeks shall inherit the earth!

come back.

I swear by Carbonite. The IT staff stripped out the computer & then
installed the Carbonite Backup. Took about 2 hrs., as I remember. No
problems since. As long as you have a good back-up, you can clean out your
computer.

This may be a little different because it is not a virus etc.  It just
encrypts your files and asks for $400 to release them.  Your anti-virus
software may not recognize it.

I have been getting this crap for over a year, a few times a week. They do
look real.

General rule don't open anything, even from someone you know, if there is
not a personal message to you that makes sense.

If you send me a photo and just say "wow look at this car." I will not
open it.

  There are emails going out that say there was an attempted delivery and
you have to download and open a file to reschedule.  If you do, the file
will encrypt files on your PC, and you will get a message that you have to
pay about $400 to recover your files.
We received three of these this morning.
