I agree with you but knowing how annoying using those can be, I'm pretty sure an average user would be annoyed as well. That said, if you want to be able to block Javascript, Flash, etc. from unknown sites, the NoScript plugin for Firefox is great.

You can just do Alt+Print Screen which will save the image in your clipboard. After that you can paste it into an image editing program, Word or anything that will accept images.

This actually happened to me this week. Somehow, I managed to circumvent the 'ransomware' and reboot my system without a problem. I tried to get a screen capture with the Firefox ScreenGrab add-on. But unfortunately, my system wouldn't allow it. Which screen capture software do you use?

Very nasty stuff, but I guess cyber space is not too different from the real world you always have to be very cautious, alert, and informed. In addition to a good virus scanner, ad blocking, and flash blocking browser plugins may help avoid similar types of attacks.
