  1. December 25.-én este érkezett a váratlan hekker támadás, a C és D merevlemezemre! A gépemen a magán és a hivatalos leveleimet, dokumentumaimat, családi és a 40 éves, ingyen végzett természet mentési és védelmi anyagomat, fényképeim egy részét tároltam, amit még nem kellett archiválnom, amit már pótolni nem tudok. Szerényen élő, koros és egyszerű ember vagyok, még fizetni sem tudnék, tisztában vagyok vele, hogy a letiltott gépemet nem tudom helyre állítani. Az itt felsorolt programok egyike sem tud ebben segíteni, egymást is vírusnak, veszélyforrásnak tekintik, nem lehet eldönteni, melyik találja meg a valós veszélyforrást, a kódot egyik sem tudja feloldani, megfejteni. A Win7 saját víruskeresője sem akadályozta meg a támadást, nem is találta meg a vírust, a gépemen nem volt beállítva a rendszermentés, mert nem én telepítettem a rendszert, ezért sok időbe telt, amíg a sérült, eltűnt programokat, nyomtatókat vissza telepítettem, csak az után vettem észre, hogy minden fájl le van tiltva a gépemen! A víruskereső és a Malwarebytes program telepítése, lefuttatása után töröltem minden problémásnak minősített fájlt, a NANO kiterjesztést próbáltam törölni a fájlnevekből, nem jártam sikerrel, a fájlok nem lettek megnyithatók. Most ott tartok, hogy el kell döntenem, az internet nélkül is lehet élet, azaz nem használom a közösségi oldalamat és a mailjeimet sem, annak érdekében, hogy a természetmentéseimről készült dokumentum és a családi fotóim biztonságban maradjanak!!! Nem értem, hogy a fejlett technika ellenére sem tudnak a programok biztonságot nyújtani, a hekkereket kivédeni, elfogni!!! Hivatalosan hol lehetne tenni ellenük, bejelenteni, feljelenteni, vizsgálatot indítani és nem a saját programjaikat reklámozni, ami csak korlátozott védelmet nyújt, de nem gyógyítja meg a sérült fájlokat!?
