A new ransomware, using the same attack as WannaCry, is hitting the world hard today on Windows PC’s. Here’s some steps to prevent this from happening to you:

1. Don’t click on links inside emails that you aren’t 100% positive you know what they do.

2. Backup your important files so something disconnect from your computer like the cloud or USB drive you remove. crashplan.com is a great service to have.

3. Install Windows updates – this prevents this specific attack from taking hold

6. Have an antivirus program running. A free one is avast.com – been using it for many years.

5. If you’re still on XP/Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8 etc. now’s a good time to get upgraded to Windows 10
