I recall that calling authorities is usually for identity theft, not for a virus issue. I think turning off the computer is the safest bet here.

I feel like letting the virus run its course is definitely not the right choice, but I’m unsure about the backup drive option. Wouldn’t that risk spreading the virus?

I think we practiced a similar question where shutting down the system was emphasized as a critical step. It makes sense to stop the virus from spreading.

I remember discussing how turning off the computer can prevent further damage, but I'm not entirely sure if rebooting from a clean disk is the best option.
