Hacked By Ransomware
My primary laptop was just hacked by ransomware. I am no sure if this is the kind I heard about recently on CNBC. I don't know if it has encrypted my files or is just blocking my computer.

The are demading $300 by MoneyPak or MoneyGram within 48 hours.

Any helpful advice will be appeciated. Please do not tel me I should have a Mac. That's not very hepful.

Note: I have and use regularly McAfee, Malwareytes (the free version) and SuperAntiSpyware (also the free version).
