- Pay the ransom. This payment is usually via credit card or bitcoin (a digital currency). Some ransomware viruses even provide help lines if you’re having trouble. Of course there are no guarantees your will get access to your data–these are thieves you’re dealing with.
- Don’t pay and lose your data – This has its obvious downsides, unless…
- You have a safe, clean backup. In that case, you are stuck with the nuisance of restoring your data with the backup, but you aren’t out any money. However, this comes with a caveat: your backups have to be clean. The problem with ransomware viruses is that just making backups may not be sufficient to protect your data, as the backups can be infected also. In the next blog, we will address your need to add an additional layer of protection to handle ransomware attacks.

I've been browsing online greater than 3 hours these days, but I never discovered any fascinating article like yours.
It's beautiful price enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters
and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the net will be a lot more helpful than ever before. -

Amazing blog! Do you have any tips and hints
for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform like
Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many
options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed ..
Any ideas? Many thanks! -

I do not know whether it's just me or if perhaps
everybody else experiencing issues with your blog.
It appears as if some of the written text in your posts are
running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to
them too? This could be a problem with my web browser because I've had this happen before.
Thank you -

This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader
amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost
moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Excellent job.
I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool! -

Great website you have here but I was wanting to know if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics discussed in this article?
I'd really like to be a part of group where I
can get suggestions from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
Many thanks!
