New ransomware CryptoDefense

FYP.

bitcoin is the burner phone of the currency world. No reason to use it unless you're doing something illegal.

Oh, and shit like the OP is why I run my web browsers sandboxed or in a VM.

is there a way to ban this guy.. he obviously doesnt hold any coin or have any understanding of bitcoin.. so why is he here?

Sadly ignorance isn't considered an offence to the same degree as scamming/spamming/trolling is, so I'm pretty sure it's not bannable. Anyways, people need to be more careful when downloading shady stuff - ransom ware can be a giant pain in the ass if you have critical files you haven't backed up.

You're the one who's lacking understanding.

As it currently stands, to effectively use bitcoin you have to go through the hassle and expense of converting it into.. you guessed it! real money!

Sure, there's a few places that accept bitcoin, but that's very limited, and those places only accept it because they use a payment processing system that immediately converts it into real money. If those businesses actually had to hold onto the bitcoin they wouldn't be taking it.

I'm going to go ahead and say he's a troll.  Most people who are smart enough to talk
about Linux and workstations,etc at least "get" bitcoin on a basic level.  Even if they
aren't a believer, they wouldn't say stupid shit like this, nor would they actively
participate on a bitcoin forum.  Plus we've seen a pattern of behavior from this poster.

How to avoid these kind of attacks? I normally don't backup my files.

Sandboxie
VMWare Workstation

I have pirate copies of both.

Or you could use VirtualBox for free fully legal.
Another way would be to switch to linux.

Yeah, linux is a pain in the ass to use.

And VMWare Workstation is a much better app then Virtualbox. It's easier to use and it's much more polished. You can also download VMWare Workstation from VMWare, all you need is a valid serial # (I have a keygen, I can give you one if you need it).

As far as hypervisor quality/security,  I don't know if either is better or worse then the other.

Also, Virtualbox only offers a hosted hypervisor, if you want a bare metal hypervisor you're going to have to go w/ a VMWare product.

VMWare is free to use. It's easy once you get use to it. A little tricky for the noobs but after a little learning it's a breeze. Please do not use a keygen. Most keygens contain a bot or virus.

Keygen I have is clean.

I run keygens sandboxed just to be safe.

And you can't get a virus from a text serial #. That was what I was offering (I'll run the keygen, and copy/paste you the serial generated)

VMware Workstation (the full featured professional application) is NOT free to use.
