Default Re: Computer Hack Warning

Just be happy it was not ransomware! Wife got it on her computer and we lost a lot of information. We figure the bad program came in on a machine embroidery design that she had purchased from a reputable site. Took me about a month to recover as much as possible. The ransomware was in the process of encrypting all the files including the backups. I run both MS security and VIPRE internet security and it still got through. You have got to be careful with all the scams going on out there
