I can't log into my bank account -- it says (let me copy and paste this for you)

Error connecting to https://www.bbb-bank.com
Connection refused

They're not a very big bank and would not have been able to afford CISSP and other information security people.  I think they have been CRYPTOVIRUSd because they didn't have the cryptanalytical skills to defend themselves!  At least Mr Bilano firewalled his bank so they are safe.

I bet all my money that was in the account has been taken by the evil hackers! :-( :-( :-(
