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!

Sounds like Cryptolocker. Even the police paid the ransom to get their data
back.
Detection while running is no big deal.
But, after the damage is done, recovery is extremely difficult.
Not worth asking John Gilmore for help building Deep Crack.
Would anybody really trust the miscreants to provide the key after the
ransom is paid?
