Another Return of GpCode

Kaspersky warns about a new version of nasty Gpcode ransomware type pest that encrypts files on infected system with a strong encryption and tries to make victim pay for getting those decrypted.

The program spreads via malicious websites as a drive by download. Kaspersky detect the pest as Trojan-Ransom.Win32.Gpcode.bn.

Due to heavy cryptography used, the encrypted files cannot be recovered making existing backups only possible solution (one good reason to have all important stuff always backed up on separate location).
