Those two malwares are called Ransomware.

I would had thought information about them would be published everywhere.

I'm glad it does.
My Media Center 2005 copy of XP says it is XPpro plus additional features,
and it misbehaves quite often by being slow to respond to what I want it
to do and oftentimes not doing what I asked it to do.

I would think with 3 GB of RAM and the Dual Core AMD 3800+ CPU it would
always do what I ask it to do and never slow down or tell me the program
I am using is not responding.

Not spooky, just experience, isn't it?

I'm here to learn of others experiences and to share my own experiences
with computers.
If my comments cause You to grin (or grimace) I can't help that.
