Computer experts said Thursday a new computer virus is making rounds in the Region 8 viewing area. According to Chase Gist at Millennium Three, more than 15 computers have been brought in to Sony VGP-BPS2A battery with the virus, which threatens a lawsuit unless you settle out of court. Millennium Three heard of the virus Sunday and first confirmed it in Region 8 Tuesday.
The virus works by scanning a VGP-BPS9 computer for files that have copyright protection. Even if the files are downloaded legally, the scanning client will list the file as "evidence". The client will then give the owner two options.
Once the user clicks the second option, they are asked to submit personal information such as credit card numbers, VGP-BPS9A , social security information, etc.
"It can be gotten in several ways and usually it has something to do with clicking on a link that you shouldn't be clicking on, something that looks to be legitimate but is not," said Gist. "It can be gotten just by surfing a web-site and just being on the internet."
"The fact of the matter is it just doesn't happen that way," said Gist. "No legitimate company is going to hold your Sony VGP-BPS2C computer for ransom. Any legitimate company is not going to say, hey, I have control of your computer unless you give me money. You can't have control of your computer."
