Cryptolocker virus alert

Cyptolocker

An file is being sent through email as well as the recipients are launching them, opening a data file and it’s seizing your computer, encrypting all your files and locking you out. And this is no joke, when you pay the “ransom”, you will get your files back (or maybe not). Or you can call a technician plus they can try for getting your files back, but honestly… the cost may be as much as the ransom is made for the decryption of the files. This is horrifying to industry. Have a customer pay ransom or even have us spend hours in your computers to get the computer back up and running.

1. ) If you’re backing up with an external hard disk, ensure you are copying everythnig (many people think they are, but are not).
IMPORTANT: Eject the external hard drive from the computer afterwards. If it remains connected, the external hard drive can still be encrypted.

2. ) Backup on the internet. I can help you to with this services, we can backup not only just one computer, but as many as you want.

3. ) We are finding that virus and malware detection products will not likely stop this particular attack, but having something is preferable to nothing in my estimation as it “might help” as the virus and adware and spyware companies by now know about the attacks and hopefully adding to their updates.

4. ) Backup your entire computer and documents with a “image backup” and when something goes wrong, we can bring your laptop back to their state it was at prior to the attack (or just about any virus attack or os crash).

If you have a very computer that has already been encrypted and will need help, contact us.

If you desire to protect your computer against this happening, email us.
