A nice (scary) read:

Cryptolocker Virus Encrypts Your Data Until You Pay the Ransom
You guys have heard of this too. Scary right ?
Removing the virus itself is fairly trivial but it's doubtful anyone will be able to crack the encryption method they use to encrypt your data so unless you pay the ransom the data is as good as GONE. That's why it's important to have a good backup.Yes this can be scary if your computer ever caught this virus.
I have everything on my computer backed up on dvd's and on my ipod. I'm sure someone will figure out a way to get rid of the virus, so i'm not too worried about getting it.
It's always a good thing to use safe internet habits too.
