WASHINGTON (AP) -- Computer users already anxious about viruses and identity theft have new reason to worry: Hackers have found a way to lock up the electronic documents on your computer and then demand $200 over the Internet to get them back.

if your dumb enough to not have virus protect and a firewall (hardware) set up and NEVER click on links or email attachments that are suspicious then you deserve it

especially if you work in porn I have the check thousands of sites out regularly, and if Im not up to date on everything my system would be fucked. its only happened 3 times in my 9 years in the industry - nothing recent.

FF makes a MASSIVE difference as well - I have gone from 2-3 spyware/malware attacks a day to zero in the 6 or so months I moved to FF

Just in case anyone didnt know that yet

agreed. they can find a virus creator in a matter of days, in some shithole chicken shack in the philippines and have him in custody. i think it would be pretty obvious to most people that a virus creator demanding money would be even easier to trace.

you're probably right. i completely believe that companies like norton and mcafee hire people to create viruses just so we continue to buy their products.

[Tony Montana]

Anyone have a program premade that we can tag as a "ransomware remover"(within a few hours)? I bet we could make some bucks with google search. I have billing and can spit a nice site pretty easily.
