I'm following the news about Cryptolocker with interest as I usually support PCs for friends and family. This thread has pretty much covered all the bases but I thought it worth re-emphasizing the need to backup AND THEN DISCONNECT the backup device (be it NAS, USB or other "mapped" drive - ie. one that appears with a letter before it in Windows Explorer such as G: H: N: etc etc) as the virus will encrypt your backup files too if they're still accessible when it runs.
Also to save people reading through the long information, the link to Cryptoprevent which so far blocks the current variations of the Cryptolocker malware is here:0 -
