Decent backup regime and at worst you lose a days work. If your working on anything important then as suggested, hourly backups to a USB stick.

Worst case, if you really need the data, put the HD into a caddy and give admin access to the drive from another. What ever you do don't open the same file that caused the incident or you'll have bricked two HD's.

I've no Caddy, but I do have a slightly rusty Transit. I've put the HD into that. Thanks for the tip. Is it the metal van body that protects the data?

You'll be alright if you've had your shots.

The Interfax says the Russian interior ministry was affected.

I read on another thread that even Trump and NASA were involved. :eek: I don't know who to trust tbh. There isn't even any point asking your GP - they always say there's nothing they can do about viruses. This has me very worried.

Serious question : can you only get infected if you click on a link in an email ?
