Microsoft supposedly pushed a patch for this in March to Vista, Win 7, 8.1, & 10.

 

For 8.1 and 10 users, I'm at a complete loss as to how any machine got infected. Users need to enable security updates frequently.

 

Patches are listed as available via this link:

I won't work on XP, Vista, and Win 7 machines anymore. I point the user to the Walmart ad with the $299 HP laptop, or I offer to install Fedora 25 Linux.

I run Fedora 25 but keep Win 7 for the minor stuff Fedora still wont run.

I had W 10 but took it out..the stuff has more spy wear than the NSA!

You can also get bit in email..as a rule if you dont know who sent it ...dont open it.

Best figure that if it is on the web someone can back track...The things the boys and girls can do on computer are amazing.
