Be aware of this infection called the cryptolocker ransom virus. It usually attacks network computers and will encrypt the files on your hard drive making it useless. As of late there is not any fix for it. Some people are paying the $300 dollar ransom fee, which does not always work. I find it ridiculous that we have to give the money to the crooks using our credit card. Why not just give them all our information.
It usually comes in through email from some place such as ups , fedex or another type of shipping. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryptoLocker for information about the infection. Always keep your virus software up to date and backup your data, but only have it on when backing up and shut it off when done.
