i thought that it could only have been because i had downloaded a copy of some coin called jack pot coin
but on the same machine different altcoin software such as ethereum, NXT, Monero and DASH were running.
now the wallets weren't empty. very loaded in fact.
i had planned to put most into cold storage but didn't make it in time.
it was this monday when i opened up my browser and wallets
suddenly a penguin with a weapon appeared on the screen and the computer made a loud beep from the hardware.
the mouse could no longer be operated and a message appeared.
i immediately tried to reboot only to find myself greeted with the same terrible sight.
so now i am writing from my mobile device. i can't access my pc.
under the penguin there is a monero address.
the amount asked (10XMR) has been doubling daily...
anyone else had this and how can this be solved? the machine has important files that are crucial to me :s
it says "spoetnikisback" in green letters and smoke emerges from the penguin's gun (animated)
i'll make sure to post a video of this strange shit shortly
Please Help.
