6 TB Mirrored = 3 TB usable. Still, it's quite a hunk of storage I can
securely get to from anywhere not blocked by a corporate firewall (like my
current client). Likewise, my 2 TB local SAN/print server is also mirrored
and not accessible/vulnerable to hackers or viruses. I forgot to mention
the UPS connected to each and the router so they are not vulnerable to
power issues. Another thing to consider is to use cheap droid or apple
tablets to do internet surfing. They are portable and easily restored,
though I have yet to need to restore any of them or a PC due to malware.

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.

Paying the $400-500 dollars sometimes releases your files but no
guarantee it won't 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 aA little different because it is not a virus etc.A It
just encrypts your files and asks for $400 to release them.A 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.

A There are emails going out that say there was an attempted delivery
and you have to download and open a file to reschedule.A 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.
