Reboot you computer. That's what I did when I encountered Ransomware.

My wife got hit with some “Blue Screen” malware. She found the Microsoft malicious software removal tool, and ran it and cleaned up her system. (Not bad for a gal who claims to no nothing about computers, but I know she is smarter than she thinks she is!).

I just purchased 4 sets of Malwarebytes along with their Anti-exploit software. Not sure if I really needed the anti-exploits or not but the “Blue Screen” thing kinda scared me. We each have Surface Pros and Desktop computers ... I suppose like everyone else, the days of the one family computer are long gone.
