Another caller today swindled by cowboy computer repair services in Birr. Told their hard drive had crashed. Never given back the crashed hard drive. Charged for a new hard drive and an illegal version of windows and office installed on their computer. This is a criminal act.
If this has happened to you give me a call for help.

GLOBAL RANSOMWARE ATTACKS

A new wave of ransomware known as “WannaCry” (detected by ESET as Win32/Filecoder.WannaCryptor.D) has spread across the globe and infected tens of thousands of computers. This ransomware propagates by exploiting a Microsoft Windows vulnerability in unpatched computers.

ESET detects and blocks the WannaCryptor.D threat and its variants. With ESET’s network protection module, we are blocking the leaked version of the exploit on the network level. We have issued an alert on our Knowledge Base site providing step-by-step instructions for our customers to ensure they are protected.

At ESET, customer safety comes first. We recommend users proactively update their operating systems, use caution when opening email attachments and enable LiveGrid on your ESET products.

Thank you,
