Ever heard of CRYPTOWALL ? I think that I got it from
looking at PDFs on the
web while doing some research. It's a trojan, not a virus. It runs in the
background encrypting files. Then it pops up a message demanding 500 euros
for the key!
Out of curiousity, were you running any sort of protective software (e.g.
Symantec, Kaspersky, etc.)?
