Businesses are not the only target for infection with Ransomware.
Customers I serve have been victims of Ransomware, the infection that locks up their computer until they pay the fee. How does this happen? Ransomware is a severe infection and often takes a skilled technician to remove it. It happens as a user is surfing the web. Whether looking for a price deal or playing a game interactively, the computer can become infected.
Prevention is best with strong cyber crime products like Sophos.
Who is Sophos?
Sophos is an experienced cyber security company serving both PC and Mac users. I have personally used their products for many years and can recommend them for any user who surfs online.
It will return
If the user repeats the same habit online that caused the Ransomware, it will return. It is a good idea to have a dialogue about what online activities were being done just before the Ransomware showed on the screen.
