Default Almost all WannaCry victims were running Windows 7


One week after it first hit, researchers are getting a better
handle on how the WannaCry ransomware spread so quickly — and
judging from the early figures, the story seems to be almost
entirely about Windows 7.

According to data released today by Kaspersky Lab, roughly 98
percent of the computers affected by the ransomware were running
some version of Windows 7, with less than one in a thousand
running Windows XP. 2008 R2 Server clients were also hit hard,
making up just over 1 percent of infections.

The article is posted on The Verge, not written by the OP.

"One week after it first hit, researchers are getting a better handle on

early figures, the story seems to be almost entirely about Windows 7."

Server clients were also hit hard, making up just over 1 percent of

Ransom ware is mal ware, same ****.

the way this company programmed its malware remover,
is that if its not of the op system files, it checks it,
and marks it. So its like, say goodbye to malware if
your using it...

It will locate several of them first time you run it.
And it matters not, if you have run malware removers before.
And what is amazing, is this thing is only 2mb in size.

Would not be caught dead without it... Malware Remover
Or many of his other good small softwares that are free.
