The worst thing going is still the Crypto Wall and other such variants of
malware that encrypt all of your documents, pictures, pdf’s etc…. and the ONLY
WAY to survive this without losing your data is if you are backed up.
If you do not have a backup plan in place, please contact us for help on this,
even hard drive recovery people who specialize in recovering data from damaged
hard drives, including those hit by lightning CANNOT help in this
instance.
You should be running two types of protection, a good antivirus and an
anti-malware software. But even if you have both of these, there is no
guarantee that you will not become a victim. It greatly reduces the
likelihood of an attack, but just as a lock and an alarm to not completely prevent
a criminal from entering, these can only protect you so far. Back up your
stuff!
