Just a little Help
Although this article will have not
that much to do with Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, even though it does
have a lot to do with the SECURITY of Cryptocurrency, it is an
important article to get out. For a while now there has been a
malware known as ransomeware that can lock you out of your computer,
demanding you pay a ransom in Bitcoin or Monero to unlock it. DO NOT
EVER PAY THE RAMSOME. There are ways to combat these morons, that
obviously can not add anything up themselves. Heck, these idiots
probably failed math in school and if you asked them what your change
should be at the store they would give you the deer in the headlights

linked. I really suggest you get up to date with this information. If
you are like me and live on Cryptocurrency you will want to protect
everything. It is simpler than you may think.
“With nasty malware like Locky making
the rounds—encrypting its victims’ files, and then refusing to
unlock them unless you pay up—ransomware is a serious headache. But

malware and viruses, but you need to apply
some specific tips and tricks for ransomware. The process varies
and depends on the type of invader. Some procedures involve a simple
virus scan, while others require offline scans and advanced recovery
of your files. I categorize ransomware into three varieties:
scareware, lock-screen viruses, and the really nasty stuff.”...READ
