[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1085733"] Time bombs/Logic bombs "malware" have conditions that need met to be considered either. They must have a payload unknown to the user, lay dormant for a period of time, and be triggered by a specific condition. Delivery of these is important to Note: 1. Learn how to spot phishing emails and never download unknown attachments. 2. Don't download applications from sketchy sources, always do so from a trusted source. 3. Validate and verify links and URL's before clicking. Keep your computer and security products update. As stated above, when and how you back up these items you store is important. There are methods mentioned such as snapshots aka immutable storage that renders the files unable to change on the storage. [/QUOTE]
