“Research a security threat. Learn about the CryptoLocker Virus. Write a brief document targeted to end users that answers these questions:

-What are the symptoms that a PC has been infected by the CryptoLocker Virus?

-What advice would you give users about whether to pay the ransom demanded?

-How can a support specialist remove the CryptoLocker Virus from a user’s PC?

-What is the preferred method to avoid getting infected by the virus?”

 USE WORD (for this document). Use Captured Screens or Photos. Bullets are beautiful to list “symptoms that a PC…”, “advice would you give”, How can “, and “what is the preferred method” (of course, they are asking for 1 answer but a good writer/student aiming for an “A” grade would give two answers and say which is the best/or one you, as student, prefer.
