Thanks Irv, another tool for the box.
I run Bitdefender on both machines, they claim it will pick it up, but you can never be sure with devious bit of malicious ransomeware!

Thanks Irv, another tool for the box. I run Bitdefender on both machines, they claim it will pick it up, but you can never be sure with devious bit of malicious ransomeware! Have you 'tested' any of these? I'm sort of living dangerously. I use Norton's System Restore to image my OS and data drive to another hard drive internally. I don't know how much the virus actually encrypts? Occasionally I've moved a copy of an image to the network DASD share and I'd assume since it is not a network share it wouldn't be found. As the ransomware mutates I am quite sure at some point one will get through. I have no intentions of testing this either, not that I know how to catch the virus either? This one sounded different, but I'm pretty sure from even its own write-up it might be a 'liitle late' in stopping the damage? A mutation I'm sure would be programmed to exclude touching those folders anyway. They'd be dumb not to do that. As it is they target specific folders and know to leave the OS alone so you can see the payment screen.
