Does Avast detect the new CryptoLocker malware that encrypts all your drives?
« on: September 15, 2013, 09:28:20 PM »
the one that encrypts all your files? i'm running Avast free, and this has got me a little worried, as it encrypts all your files and any drives connected to the computer, only decrypts if you send money.

Youtube video on it
