Every time I've had to deal with one of these ransomware nasties, the malware sat silently in the background happily encrypting everything without the users knowledge. Only once all accessible files have been encrypted does the user get the "we haz all your filez" pop-up which demands the ransom.
There's no way it could have instantly encrypted all of her documents immediately after opening the dodgy email....
it's only a divx avi file. Ive got quite a few of them, and all the others (downloaded before the new firmware) play fine... Anything I've downloaded since then has the issue
The fugly new GUI that seems designed to hide everything except changing the SSID is pretty annoying as well!
Superhub is a massive POS.
It still randomly drops the wireless connection (every 20 minutes) resets itself to factory defaults whenever it feels like it, kicks me off Xbox live after about 45 minutes game time....
Tried downloading a tv episode yesterday and the first 2 mins play fine then it goes into slow motion, I thought I'd grabbed a dodgy torrent, tried another copy.....same thing! This would explain it!!
Time to dig out the old buffalo wzr and try modem only mode.
"By law, retailers have to give licencing your name and address when you purchase equipment capable of receiving TV signals."
Bought a new TV from Comet (I needed one quickly!!) got a letter from TV Licensing within 2 days basically saying "pay us £140 now, or we'll fine you £3000"
How do they know i didnt just buy it to play Xbox on?
F*ckers
Yep it can.....
Using TVersity you can stream over wifi instantly (it will transcode on the fly if needed)

P.S. You can even annoy your Apple fanboi friends (always fun!) and use a shiny flash interface by adding /flashlib to the end of the url ;)
