Well Someone i know got this and it cause all his programs to freeze up when booted up. Plus the computer frezes alot. This caused him to loose alot of naruto and other animes.Things to prevent these:

Don't download dumb .exe files. Buy them Ive learned not to trust these since now i run under view hidden files due to the hidden files leaking in through downloads. This is how the person i know got this. I think.

A no brainer is to not to open dumb e-mails. And for those who didnt read the arcticle, do not receive attacttachments that are unknown.

Get a updated Virus scaner/catcher. Having a up to date version will have to time, and possibly money.

Heres the Artical Sum Up/Video Sum Up:
The Virus floods e-mails, and opens up a back-door allowing acess into your computer at any given time, or use your computer as a host to launch another attack. Hmm im not quiet sure about anyother details and how the person i know got this virus to make his programs not work anymore is beyone me. But remember be safe out there.
