Please be advised that there is a VERY nasty virus doing the rounds which encrypts both local files and any files on mapped drives. Once they’re encrypted, they cannot be decrypted without paying the attackers money. We advise everyone to be extra vigilant and not to open any suspicious emails. Antivirus software isn’t necessarily going to stop it. The virus spreads through infected sites and email. Please make sure that you make backups of any important files, pictures etc. and once you have, remove the medium that you have backed up on from the computer. We do not mean to sound alarmist, but unfortunately, should you get this virus, there would be nothing that can be done to recover your files. If you need more information or help, please do not hesitate to call us.
