Not sure if you guys saw this one. Pretty nasty... Vundo pushes something that encrypts your files and then pushes something (FileFix Pro 2009) that charges you to "recover" them. I can't imagine my mother NOT paying $50 to get all her documents back https://forums2.symantec.com/t5/blogs/blogarticlepage/blog-id/malicious_code/article-id/255 Alex -- Regards, Alex Lanstein Network/Systems Architect FireEye, Inc.
