Wanna Cry Ransomware Guidelines to stay safe : * Be careful NOT to click on harmful links in your emails. * Be wary of visiting unsafe or unreliable sites. * Never click on a link that you do not trust on a web page or access to Facebook or messaging applications such as WatSab and other applications. * If you receive a message from your friend with a link, ask him before opening the link to confirm, (infected machines send random messages with links). * Keep your files backed up regularly and periodically. * Be aware of fraudulent e-mail messages that use names similar to popular services such as PayePal instead of PayPal or use popular service names without commas or excessive characters. * Use anti virus and Always make have the last update. * Make sure your windows have the last update close the gap. * Use this link to download update Manual : MS17-010 Update for Windows 8.1 The first option is for 64bit system and another option for 32bit system MS17-010 Update for Windows 10 The first option is a 32bit system and a second option for a 64bit system Update link for MS17-010 for Windows 7 and Server 2008 Choose the first 64bit system choice or the second 32bit option. Links Update for MS17-010 for Windows XP and Server2003 and 8 Update 5/21/2017 : A tool under the name WanaKiwi is "able" to decrypt the data in the hands of the ransom software, but only if the user has not restarted or turned off the computer. This condition must come from how the rudimentary software algorithm works. The researcher focused on the initial numbers stored in the random memory of the computer on which the software is based to perform the encryption process. More generally and simply, the tool searches for these numbers and begins the process of decrypting encrypted data in advance, hence the importance of the above requirement, in addition to the reference of some other reports to another condition is not to take off new software after infection such as games and office applications which can damage the order Store those numbers on your computer's memory by using that space for another program. Note: The new tool works on both Windows 2008, 7, XP and Vista, and has been proven effective by some security companies. Another tool named WanaKey is based on the same principle Link Download direct: Wanakiwi_0.2.zip or Wanakiwi.zip Update 5/15/2017 : The entry of the virus to your device, which is dependent on a gap in the Windows system and the gap is present in all types of Windows is that the feature is open. if you did no't update your windows just turn off SMP, There are two methods to turn off SMP manually or Tools . First Manually : 1.Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features. 2. Remove check Box SMB1.0/CIF Filse Sharing Support. 3. you must be restart your computer. Done! Now you are safe. 2. Tools : Link Download direct: SMB2 Tools Disable 1. RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. 2.First check if the Features is turn on !. when you run the tools will show this, if you see SMB2 currently enable so you must be Disabled it 3. SMB2 IS currently disabled. 4. you must be restart your computer. Done! Now you are safe. I hope it helps to keep you safe. This thread is locked.

JB Jonathan Boring Replied on May 15, 2017 Your post will not help, the Wanna Cry Ransomware uses a backdoor in Windows that allows the Ransomware to install onto your computer without your knowledge. Thankfully Microsoft did create a security update that did patch the back door. Wanna Cry Ransomware Guidelines: * Make a recovery disk! The WannaCry ransomware asks for $300 or more if you a modified version if you do not pay the creators ( in Bitcoin to its untraceable and not refundable ) encrypt all of your files on the computer. * If your computer gets infected take it off of your network imedately! The ransomware will spread to other computers on the network! You can restore from a backup. * Report it, this helps log the progression of the ransomware. -Jonathan Boring "All around tech nerd" Report abuse 11 people found this reply helpful · Was this reply helpful?
