Important Steps as to how to deal with WannyCry Ransom Ware


Shared by WSJ a few days ago from a friend, Kent Tan 

          My Outlook Express mail server every other day receives suspicious emails telling me that I've won the lottery, received Purchase Orders from hitherto unknown companies, payments from UK, requests for items to purchase again from unknown companies and bogus requests for quotes with zip attachments. I normally discard them and run the McAfee Scan just to be safe. 3 days ago the Ransomware virus affected many PCs worldwide and our 2 Universities  NUS and NTU were hit. It is a dangerous world we live in whereby there are scams abound at every innocuous email and requests for quotes. 


Just disable SMB to Prevent against WannaCry Attacks 

      This simple procedure should help you and your PCs to disable this virus once and for all. Lets never take web safety and people's sincerity for granted. There are many crooks out there together with the well meaning good people in society I am afraid.   

                Follow this 2 simple steps and save yourself a lot of trouble later on.
