Hi,

that's complete bogus for several reasons.

FBI warning, we detected illegal porn on your machine, pay 1000 bitcoin
or you'll be jailed for life.

All your data is encrypted, pay 1000 bitcoin or you'll never get back
access to your data.

Who {,the .?*@} is we? And when became the non-existent
user-friendliness off Windows an idol?

Actually the neighbourhood ask all the *BSD and Linux geeks for help,
when the Windows support they have payed for fails to solve the
uncountable issues they experience.

Please, folks, if you want something idiot prove to use, pay much money
for Apple hardware and software! If you are willing to read the fine
and easy to understand manual and you don't need professional grade
{,nice} software, but you also don not want to become a power user/geek,
then use a Linux distro such as an Ubuntu flavour.

Regards,
Ralf
