Hmm..this is why I keep saying Google, or research it..
I simply Googled.." Mondays malware" attack...
All kinds of information options came up.

We do have until Monday ....so, I'd say take your time to sort it out.

They supposedly are ( they being service providers).. already getting set up for calls from folks who lose there net connection.

Also a good thing to get into the habit of is backing up any information you want to save. I have both flash drive and an external hard drive that i save info that I don't want to lose like things I have written or pics I have taken or saved. Flash drives are fairly cheap and you can get them up to about 16 GB with will hold thousands of pics and written files.

Just an idea for anyone who wants to save information. You can get the flash drives anywhere and I think you can get the external hard drive anywhere computers are sold, like Best Buy or Office Max or Office Depot and i don't believe that are too expensive. I think they are worth it so save all of my important stuff!!

Gentle hugs,
Jenna

one thing to look for when you go to a site that asks for any info is the address should say httpS (meaning info is secure).

malware is getting smarter and smarter - last one i got was running even in secure mode, so mine had to be wiped clean. it's a great idea to back up photos and important docs, even bookmarks...amazon has the best deal i've found on both flashdrives and external hard-drives. as a temp measure you can save things on a CD - may take several.

hope everyone is safe.

If it's supposed to happen Monday, why not just stay off the net that day until the danger has passed??

It will happen from Monday on if you're affected..
The thing has already been supposed to have happened..
The FBI somehow blocked it...evidently for quite a long time..
And will stop doing so Monday. ( I don't know why they've done it this long, and are stopping)

I wish I was better at explaining..or even understanding, this stuff..
'Cause the only really sensible thing I can say is..
Investigate it.
