Hello, guys !
Please help with in fighting the virus.

At the wife at work the server and other computers picked up a virus similar to WannaCry
(All except the wife's computer, to which I installed Comodo)

The server is a laptop without antivirus and firewall.
All important information is stored on the server.

Shit! Sorry to hear this man. Ransomware has been around for a while now, this may not be a WC variant as much as a predecessor. Pray it's an old one; some of the encryption has been broken on the oldest ones, and there may be a utility to help you recover your data.

If it's a business, they need to report this to the authorities, for the sake of investigation and liability. As for the terminals, it is unfortunate, but the data is most likely gone. Really hoping they were using back ups.

What are the IT guys saying, or, no ITs at this particular job? (May be a small company, but if they are all using terminals, somebody is fixing them).

Yup this Ransomware thing is kinda spreading and victimizing companies that don't have proper securities or sometimes victimizing home desktop by locking and spreading their bitcoin wallet so the people would rather put up the sum that they want, well I think the best hackers can really debunk it but I don't know where to find one so good luck with that.
