Crypto Locker Virus

Posted on 14:46 by Unknown
There is a new virus out there that is really nasty. It is called "The Crypto Locker Virus."
The virus enters your computer through an email that you open because it looks like it’s from a legitimate company such as FedEx or UPS. It locks your computer up so you cannot access anything. This computer virus asks for a ransom that ranges from $100 to $300 so your computer will be restored back to normal. Some users have been asked to pay up to $700, claims one.
Read the following articles to learn more and also learn how to remove it if you do get infected.
