pc probs

possibly have it nesting somewhere on your work pc or you using a particular site or plug in drive which keeps bringing it back.
good scan & change of AV may cure it.
Think same rule as on the GTiRs can apply, if ain't broke don't fix/update it within logical reasoning ...

yeah he may not have removed it fully avast never picked it up for me i had to use a couple of different malware apps to find all the bits of it, royal pain in the arse

These ransomware virus's are a pita for me. I'm an IT engineer.

They have made a massive comeback in the last 2 months and are arriving via e-mail or being downloaded.
Disguised as a pdf file the file extension is actually .exe

I would suggest as no anti virus can actually detect them as of yet and when they do a new version is released which can't be detected, to enable file extensions so you can see just what you're clicking onto and pay attention to what you're clicking as they load in the background and do there stuff without you knowing.

If it gets hold of your system then they can encrypt pictures, pdfs, docs, excel files each with a separate algorithm meaning unless you have the key (different for each file) which is individually stored on the bad persons computer - You're attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis.

Be wary everyone

sorry fella all that flew right over my head

There you go That's the nastiest one I've seen in the last month and it's a bugger to remove

Just back everything up, costs peanuts for an external drive these days. Make sure it's unplugged unless backing up as it'll get hold of the back up too.

malware bytes is a cracking program, just before you finish the installer untick the 30 day trial option and run a quick scan once a week

cheers for that
cant be bothered reading it but il download it anyway if you reckon its gonna work.

since last time its not come back again but you never know lol

haha, get it from there website, pop in any random e-mail and download it. You might be surprised to what it finds on it's first run.

My record is 1018 items. Usually, people get around 20 without even knowing. Give me a shout if you need any tech support but google is there for emergencies

cheers chris much appreciated
