Okay this is a thing right now...
Guys.. fuq my computer is infected with this virus... stupid of me to turn off my windows defender. Actually I was annoyed by the contant popups from windows defender. So I turned it off. Was surfing on the net and wanted to open a few images I downloaded earlier... but to my surprise it showed invalid image. I tried other images too even movies and other applications. Everything is infected in my computer. :*:
Here are a few sites to read about this virus. This thing is a ransomware... they encrypt all your files on your computer and demand a price to get the key to decrypt them.
Read more about this thing here. And be really cautious about this virus. And if you are on windows... do not turn off windows defender even if it annoys you :*:
1) The Cerber Ransomware not only Encrypts Your Data But Also Speaks to You
2) https://blog.malwarebytes.org/threat-analysis/2016/03/cerber-ransomware-new-but-mature/
They have a text file where they have provided the instructions on what to do..
And I was reading and I found this.
Although my files were not super important. And losing them isn't that a big of a deal. I will not paying them sure as heck.
But I just wanted to inform you guys. Stay cautious. And keep the windows defender on. Always no matter the popups.
