Malware Encrypting User Files - 03/13/2014

Over the last six months, we have seen an increase in malware that encrypts user documents, pictures, and other files - making them inaccessible. This type of malware typically prompts customers to pay hundreds of dollars to decrypt the files within several days or the key to decrypt them will be deleted. We recommend that customers never provide credit card information to any malware program or site. Due to the encryption used, it may not be possible to decrypt the files on the hard drive - which emphasizes the importance of regular backups to external media. Be sure to also disconnect your backup device from your PC when not in use.
