Timur Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Massive cyber attack striked Ukraine, and now spreading across Russia and Europe. This virus called "Petya". So far it hit Ukrainian goverment computers, Banks, Power managment systems, many many firms and companies and.... ...and it hit my PC... Now my screen looks like this I`m writing from my Laptop. And now i need to reinstall my operating system, and reinstall all other programs. Be careful, guys and girls. And backup your crucial information.

Timur Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 This virus spreads via Email, attached to PDF, DOC or XML file. Then it spreads via Local network to ALL PC with shared folders with "Write" permissions granted. After this it write file "C:\Windows\perfc.dat" and crashes PC by showing BSOD. This file was quarantined by Avira (Free antivirus) After restart it run Fake "Check Disk" in BIOS mode. While you looking at percentage it encrypting your "File Index" Important information, as far as i know Avira is only Antivirus detecting this virus, not sure for how long it will save your PC, and when new version of virus come out. This is how FAKE Check disk looks like WARNING, IT`S FAKE, IF YOU SEE IT, SHUT DOWN YOUR PC NOW!!!Every percent is how many files you LOST already!

Jimmel Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 That sucks. I was actually reading on a couple guards one could use against this, earlier today. "One way of preventing a PC getting infected is by tricking the malware into thinking it’s already on the computer. This can be done by creating a file in the Windows directory folder (C:Windows) and create a file named perfc (it’ll end up look like this: %WINDIR%perfc) and set it to read only, according to Hacker House CEO Matthew Hickey. That’s because when it first run, NotPetya searches for that filename in that folder and if it’s found, it’ll kill itself, noted Cybereason.." Source: Forbes.
