Not surprised ransomware is moving on to porn. Lots of malicious software coming from porn sites are targeting mobile users.
I wonder though, whether a fresh install would've done the job. That is, if you had nothing else in place to prevent you from wiping out the ransomware. “The Windows nasty prevents users from booting in safe mode.” There are, instant restore software (Comodo, Rollback Rx, etc) that can do the job.
