I think Adobe is a virus

My future son-in-law is a wizard with this stuff. Cryptowall was born in Russia in June of 2013. The people who built it are Russian nationals and everyone who was involved is now locked up except for the head guy. A security company here in the great US of A was able to create a repair tool that was introduced in August of this year that allows for the files to be unencrypted, but until then, if you got hit by it, the party was over regarding any kind of files. My guy will research the fix tomorrow and hopefully it will be legit. If it works for me, I'll post a link for any of my OSO brothers who might get sucked in. By the way, there is no cost for the fix.

I posted the vacine info above, too many people are relying on so called free anti virus and anti mal ware. you get what you pay for.

Carry on. :drink:

Well, someone is still out there collecting the money. The guy I know had to pay using bitcoin and when he did, he got the decryption key.

with some of the other less sophisticated viruses that have the decryption key, you can just type in anything and it works. LOL.

What a relief, when I opened this I was worried a town-bike type skank contracted Ebola or the herp.
Sorry about the computer, though.

Adobe Acrobat Reader does have an update as of 9/16/14. If you open up reader program there is a search for updates on the menu under help.
