If your Windows-based computer suddenly won't boot up, it could be the evil doing of malicious malware that deletes the contents of your computer -- farewell, documents, pictures, and videos -- and then prevents reboot.
Just spotted in the wild, it's being called either Disttrack (McAfee's name) or the Shamoon attacks (Symantec's), and researchers say it's notable because it's been a long while since they've noticed malware going to such lengths to truly make someone's life miserable in this way by deleting personal files.

When people first meet online or in personal life, they begin to have a very ordinary kind of friendship. But when they begin to understand each other, when they get close to each other, that is when they discover that they are suddenly eager to know each other even better. Friends are those who can understand that we are not perfect and that we make mistakes and that he or she is ready to forgive. They will listen to your problems, and give advice when you can't find it in your own heart even when the truth may not be what you want to hear.
