Yeah. It's this extremely obnoxious Trojan type that takes over the computer including in safe mode that puts up a message saying paying $300 or lose everything by a certain time. It then encrypts every single pdf, jpg, mpg, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, txt file on your computer basically destroying everything. The price I paid for letting my kids looking for funny videos... Luckily almost everything was backed up on an unconnected external drive but that computer is pretty much toast and I haven't had a chance to restore everything to my other computer.
Thanks Norm
