    Friend of mine got hit, fortunately system backups intact.
    My question is a reinstall of the OS the first thing to do or would a malware Program make the system useable without the need to reinstall? I think a weak password permitted this to happen.

    Hi Broni;
    Did the name "CyberRansome" give you enough info to go on?

    I fairly sure that's not correct name since I'm not aware of such threat.
    Please double check.
    Some screenshot may be a good idea.
