    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?

    But if they get their millions in bit coin will they not be caught when they try to change it from virtual money to real money, talking of which how exactly do you change virtual bit coin money in non virtual/ real money.

    These hackers must watch Black Mirror, at least they have taste. It'll all end with someone robbing AIB with Bronn off Game of Thrones

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


    The Interfax says the Russian interior ministry was affected.

    Also looks like it ran out of paper.

    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.

    That would have been great ! I mean no, I mean ...

    Serious question : can you only get infected if you click on a link in an email ?
    (I don't click dodgy links in emails *smug*)
