I found just the right recipe, but I don't want to be metasoapboxed.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

So you can have more useless crap when it hits you (if you don't keep backup offline).

She almost certainly got it from a poisoned website.

The point is that you do not have to live in fear of viruses if your system and data are properly backed up. How will you know in advance that a particular web site is toxic? Abstaining from all browsing to new sites? That will put a serious crimp in your ability to utilize the Net to its full extent.

Not just new sites (which would make Google pretty redundant) - XSS can make "safe" sites dangerous as well.

Are you implying:

If so: Good luck to you!

Backups are also subject to ransomware attack unless you store it on WORM storage. I doubt DVDs and BDs are popular these days for storing backups.

Our backups (images and data) are stored on external drives that are normally disconnected and powered down. Ransomware cannot get to them. I also use DVDs for very critical data (such as password files, encryption certificates and financial info). This data fits comfortably on a DVD or USB stick. I keep more than one copy to cover potential failures.

I got this at work last week and again at home yesterday. Both times as soon as I closed the automated message window with voiceover a pr0n pic opened. I closed and I ran a scan and found noting.

I wish I would have read this before 3:01 AM CDT yesterday. Apparently that's when my main data drive for my home/office server failed. I do remember waking up and hearing a constant clicking sound, but convinced myself that it was a ceiling fan. Three hours later when I got up, I realized that the noise was coming from my office.
I felt like an idiot when I realized the last full backup I can find was 3 years old! 
It will take a long time to get things back to 'normal'. I've already spent hours re-installing sql server and fighting with reporting services to get it back up and running.
I'm considering sending the drive off to a data recovery service, depending on cost. It's going to be another long day!

There has been a lot of this going on today. Even Griff once called me Shirley.
Here[^] is someone who does not like this at all, plus some support from Leslie himself.

Why do I feel the urge to reach out with my hand and say something like 'I find your lack of faith disturbing'?

CDP1802 might be tricky for you to remember, but it's his initials and birth year, so it's easy for him.
