[QUOTE="danb, post: 928667, member: 62850"] Yeah, that is a big part of it ;). I actually have not spent a lot of time studying ransomware specifically, but I am really getting into it now. I always figured that there were a lot of people "working on it", and that someone would come up with a tech that would truly end ransomware as we know it. And actually this all came about because of the encryption of quarantined folders feature in VS that [USER=36043]@harlan4096[/USER] recommended. I was working on SimpleBackup and figured if we were going to upload the files to the cloud, we better encrypt them. Then one thing led to another, and now it is completely out of hand ;). If anyone finds any bugs in VS, I will fix them first, but in the meantime, with C19 and it being cold outside, I am happy to have discovered a new "hobby"... its like solving a puzzle. It's fun.
