Once the victim opens such email attachments, CryptoLocker gets installed and starts scanning the hard disk for all kinds of documents, it said.<br /><br />Documents include images, videos, documents, spreadsheets and presentations, Quick Heal said adding the virus encrypts the files and once the user starts operating his/her system, it pops a message demanding a sum of $ 300 to buy a private key to decrypt the files, Quick Heal added.<br /><br />"The malware gives a deadline of 100 hours to pay the ransom and get the private key to decrypt the data. If the amount is not paid it destroys the private key and your encrypted data is locked forever with no way to recover it," the firm said.<br /><br />Hackers behind this malware are able to avoid the trace back by using digital cash systems like Bitcoins and MoneyPack where the payments can be anonymous.<br /><br />"Since last couple of weeks we have been seeing over 500 incidents per day of this malware. The incidents are being reported from all over India," Quick Heal Chief Technical Officer Sanjay Katkar said.<br /><br />The firm also said that cyber criminals are employing similar tactics to fleece money from the victims.<br />"Another similar kind of ransomware that goes by the name of 'Anti-Child Porn Spam' was seen infecting few computers in last couple of days. This shows that the trend for ransomware is growing," Quick Heal added.</div>

Basically it doesn't allow the Internet browser to save information such as cookies or the history of visited sites. To be able to run UltraSurf you just need to download it and then start the program.<br /><br />The reason for this is that it doesn't require an installation process. When launching the program a Internet Explorer window will appear to confirm that the proxy server has been enabled. Despite having a very small size, this is a very efficient application.<br /><br />It allows you to have complete freedom on the web and to access all the available information. The program is extremely useful especially in countries with heavy Internet censorship and also in places such as universities or companies where normally you can't access social sites like Facebook, Youtube, Myspace, Hi5 etc.</span></h4></div><div><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: medium;"><b><a href="http://ultrasurf.us/" target="_blank">DOWNLOAD</a></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div><div><h4 class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-color: white; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat repeat; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: medium;">HIDE MY IP</span></b></h4></div><div><b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></b></div><div><h4 class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Conceal your online identity with the click of a button.
