How many have got this? and paid? can it be defeated? Is a new laptop the answer? Thanks. Kim
You won't need a new laptop, just replace the hard drive.If there is any more crap I will get another lap top. Kim
I've had those warnings about my files being encrypted over a dozen times.
Each time I simply shut down the computer.
I've never had any actual damage.
What ever you do, NEVER click on ANYTHING on the screen with the warnings.
If you are unsure, simply hold down your physical power button until the machine shuts off. Most newer systems can easily tolerate an "improper" shutdown.
