Those STUPID ads on Rush and Hannity about "The cops called Charles with the bad news. His identity was on a computer that had been stolen and he was the victim of identity theft."

Local cops handle that about as often as I stop over at Brad Pitt's house for a backyard barbecue. I hate those @#$% ads.

But the fact that you remember the commercial means they’ve succeeding in their marketing campaign.

I’ve had one call from a friend about Cryptolocker on their machine. They were frantic and asked if I could help. I told them, “Nope. You either pony up the cash, or your data is lost forever.”

He didn’t believe me and accused me of not wanting to help because of a falling out between our wives. So what did he do? He took his computer to Best Buy! Not only did they tell him the same thing, but they charged him to put a new hard drive into his computer while his old one was fine just encrypted.
