Topic: Be Careful Ransomware attack Your PC (Read 1105 times)

Too smart for all these shit

You guys should get your mind right and stop touching anything you don't know online or offline and get some top antivirus installed on your PCs for precaution    

Just because something hasn't happened in the past, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future... There was a first time to everything... First time to wage war with others, first suicide-bombing, etc etc!

I'd like to be careful and would like to share my intelligence with more people.

There has never been a virus or any malware in a Windows Update patch. Link me any article showing this has ever happened in the past. Using auto-update for Windows patches isn't dangerous at all and will help secure your machine.

That's stupid LMAO!

What if hackers hacked Windows and put ransomware and tons of virus shiz in the updates so they got your computer and can send it to all your contacts, their contacts, their their contacts, etc.. through your Email and the world of internet is doomed?

That could happen if you got auto-updating enabled! Therefore I suggest not updating your Windows untill after like a day and then do your research if there's anything about windows being hacked or something and if there's not anything about it on the internet, you could carefully try downloading it.

I heard that Linux is not affected by virus. But my problem is I don't know how to use Linux because it is too complicated to install and used. Do you have some guides?

I don't think that this particular virus spreads via email but many viruses do. For this reason, you shouldn't ever open unknown attachments via email.

This particular virus spreads without needing any user interaction as the vulnerability in Windows allows remote exploitation if not properly patched.

Install Linux and dual boot it with windows. I use Linux when I am browsing and checking emails since viruses barely work in linux!

Is it true that this virus is spread via email, what about security like yahoo and google? I am so scared ..

You really need to update Windows to keep up to date with the latest security patches otherwise you can become vulnerable to attacks like this. Not updating for long periods of time isn't safe at all.

If you are really careful on how you use internet and what all sites you visit and what all links you open,then you really do not need to worry about these sort of virus or ransomware,you must have a good firewall and antivirus and malware protection and you need to update you stuffs to avoid getting infected.

Good antivirus. Don't download random emails with "unknow" attachment

I updated Windows after hearing about the virus-the extortioner, but to be honest that automatically update Windows, I don't like. The updates are loaded very long and it is a problem. If today there is a new virus that it gets into my computer because I again do not update.

All you need to do is get the latest update of windows. They already patched eternalblue so you will be completely safe if you update. DO IT!!!!

Didn't this ransomware craze die out? I thought infected computers were supposed to have been completely formatted by now, wouldn't that mean there would be no more computers to send viruses?

i think ransomware issue is reduce not booming again

Well, I was not careful enough then 

Have you heard the latest news about Malware program that attacks computers in every corner of the world?
So yes, it has attacked my data. On Sunday I was about to type my essay when I noticed that something is wrong with my laptop I turned it on and there is a red screen saying "Send $300 worth of bitcoin to the address" and specified address, so all my data that I have collected is blocked and soon i need to hand in my paper to professor.
Not that funny, right? But most of all I am afraid to lose my pictures and videos.

Three years ago my friend's laptop attacked by Malware Ransomware. That malware encrypted all data in local disk D and local disk E except local disk C because all program in here.
Then I try to reinstalling operating system microsoft windows 7, i think success, but it doesn't work.
but don't wanna cry because there are solve the problem to fix it.
Here are some precautions to minimize infected Malware Ransomware Wannacrypt:
1. Do not connect on LAN / WIFI, Do Back Up Data
    LAN AND WIFI is a network that can exchange data between computers connected to the network. The latest prevention to save your files is to
    backup first, make sure when you do backup do not connect with LAN and WIFI first. This is to prevent malware from getting into your computer
    system
2. Update AntiVirus
    With this attack, of course, various Anti-Virus update to overcome the occurrence of Malware Ransomware Wannacrypt attacks. Make sure you use
    trusted Antivirus to improve the security of your PC using Windows OS.
3. Update MS17-010 Patch Update on Windows OS
    MS17-010 security patch released by Microsoft has actually been announced since last March. But it seems most of the computers in the world have
    not installed them yet. So this laxity is exploited massively by WannaCrypt.Update security spreader on your windows by install Patch MS17-010
    issued by microsoct. See: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms17-010.aspx
4. Non Enable SMB function v1
    Microsoft took an unusual step to protect its customers with unsupported versions of Windows - including Windows XP, Vista, Windows 8, Server
    2003 and 2008 - with the release of security patches fixing the SMB flaws currently exploited by WannaCry ransomware. After patch update
    MS17- 010 on your Windows OS, do Disable on your computer's SMBv1 feature. Follow These Steps:
    Log in to the .wcry virus (check image)
1. Go to safe mode
2. Click safe boot -> minimal, click ok and restart
3. Once restarted go to control panel -> folder options-> show hidden file then click apply
4. Go to msconfig -.startup -> Disable Program is suspicious or unknown, click ok and click "Exit without Restart"
5. Delete the malicious files
6. Check the next folder to find suspicious files:
% TEMP%
% APPDATA%
% Program Data%
(If there is a folder / File Wanna Cry delete directly)
7. Check the host file, Because it is biased with the same virus.
Locate local host
C: \ windows \ System32 \ driver \ etc
After that there is a file host then open with notepad
(There if there is an unknown site, then delete it directly)
8. After that go back to msconfig continue disable Safe Mode click OK then Restart
9. After restarted, there is no "Decryption Tool" now, but you can restore files from backup or restore a separate folder
10. Now you can see the old version of the encrypted file
11. Delete the file named:
A. Readme.txt.WCRY
B. License.txt.WCRY
C. History.txt.WCRY
D. ! Please Read Me! .txt
E. ! WantDecryptor1.exe

Good Luck!
