@scott @briankrebs If you use windows, it's not a question if you will get ransomwared, it's a question of when.

If you want a basic level of security, the only choice is to use GNU/Linux (which may seem extremely expensive due to all the handcuffs you have to cut off the business, but once you've removed them you'll realize that costs are cause by microsoft and other parasites and once you've cut off such parasites, your costs will be much, much lower and you'll no longer need to fight with the computers).
