this one time i clicked on a free video site and it started making an alarm noise and asked me for money to get rid of the virus.
i had to restart my browser to get rid of it. it was a crappy fake ransomeware.
i'd just buy myself a new computer if i had to though. they're less than £200. |

"Thats why you back everything up to a portable hard drive
Nice one Scarlett!"
And have a back up of the back up, dropbox helps too! Honestly big companies shouldnt be afraid of ransom ware if they use an off site cloud based back up or have back ups of the systems done hourly.. its a bitch resetting computers etc or waiting out the ransom ware but there should never be a danger of loosing files |

Good advise.
I have a ghost copy of my whole hard c: drive on an external drive.
If I was to get anything nasty, 10-15 min I would have my computer back as it was as both c: and external are ssd so nice and nippy  |
