    Default Be aware of the latest malicious software !!



    In March of 2009, researchers discovered a new generation of malicious software that improves on these notorious rogue antivirus routines by adding a ransomware component to the attack. Cybercriminals have used ransomware in the past in another online extortion scheme: encrypting files on an infected PC and asking for payment for the decrypter.

    Hi Monty

    Thanks for sharing... Some of these things are a nightmare and can catch you unaware, even with the latest antivirus etc.

    I would suggest having a look at iDrive for backing up your GA_Backup folders and other important stuff on your PC automatically online.

    Link to IDrive

    Its free... we use it and so do some others on the forum here.
