I was trying to help Moshe13us by trying to look at an on-line M-Audio's manual. I clicked on a site that had said manual, don't ask I forgot which one, and I immediately was greeted with a ransom message. I quickly shut off my computer. I just finish completely thorough scans with rKill, adwcleaner, defender, and anti-malwarebytes. It took many hours and everything came up clean, at least so far. I just thought that I would warn everyone.

Apparently a good site got infected. You can be as careful as you can and still get bad things happening to your computer.

Note that I do have a cloned backup in case I need it.


The fitness trainer asked me, "What kind of a squat are you accustomed to doing?" I said, "Diddly."
