It encrypted my photos folder (where I had a few photos but most were in another folder), and some spreadsheet documents. My newly installed malwarebytes anti-ransomware stopped it dead before it could encrypt more. Whatever you do DO NOT go to fileplanet anymore, It is unsafe now.
I had a full sandboxie sandbox running and it got through that people, so keep that in mind. I am just trying to see if it encrypted more, I checked my doom folder and music collection and they are fine. I also ran antivirus scans, and looked at my running processes with comodo killswitch an it seemed good.
This is a warning to people that ransomware CAN and will come through ads. Fileplanet had tons of ads and adblock plus could not find eny of them and they got through. Ads deliver malware these days, and if you don't run a good adblocker you will get infected a lot from ad intensive sites. I am pretty sure that's how I got the ransomware in question, and I am glad malwarebyres blocked it.
Amway, that is it for now, I will give you guys and update soon to tell you what else has happened on my PC since then.
