Panda labs blog has an update about a rogueware that attack computers and demand ransom before they allow you access to any files in your computer. This particular rogueware will throw a pop up notice demanding a hefty $79 in order to 'remove malware it claim to have found in your computer system'. The truth of the matter is, there is no any malware, instead, this rogueware is going to install some.

Good thing is, Panda and may other genuine anti-virus softwares have a cure for it. See the video below. But, probably the best cure for this and many other similar threats will be to NEVER open any suspicious attachment from anybody (people you know or don't know). Also as a rule of thumb, never click a link coming from a person you don't know, if you receive it from a person you might know and it still doesn't feel okay, do yourself a favor and double check with them. Asking if they sent an attachment, what it was and why, could save your computer data and personal information.
