Rombertik is hardly a suicide bomber and the chances of it activating its destructive payload on a regular users computer is minimal. Cisco researchers and the Daily Mail describe it as destroying the computer, when in fact were talking about data being wiped or overwritten on a hard drive. If it believes it is under analysis, it tries to wipe out your hard drive’s partition sector (also known as the MBR or Master Boot Record) and force a restart. It will attempt to encrypt the files in your home folder.”]
