CyberLock

[ringtail]

Can this Anandtech posse suggest cures for this horrible intrusive infection (not really a virus/worm/trojan...it's "something else" no antivirus can see)?

Several helpful "path" defenses against intrusions by email, winzip, 7zip, and other entry points are published in the free Windows Secrets newsletter, but the author says Cyberlocker is morphing daily so those might fail.

Please do post what other defense you known here to help all. And please also let Susan Bradley who authored the helpful Windows Secrets newsletter article know of your new defense.

That "newsletter" is a fairly static publication but the forms assumed by the CyberLock intrusion are morphing daily so your news may help others here.

Never click on links in an email and depending on the level of inconvenience you are willing to tolerate, do all your internet access from a Linux virtual machine.
