If you ever see this screen on your system when you turn it on, then my friends your system has been hijacked by a very stubborn virus called FBI VIRUS.
This virus infects your system by visiting malicious websites, through email attachment or by downloading some unknown programs.
The FBI has many variants and the makers have been working real hard in making sure that there is no fix for it and to ensure their victims pay up.
The main reason for this virus is to hijack your system and display a screen telling you that you have been browsing through some nasty websites or violating some copy rights related laws and needs to you pay a fine for these crimes which you did not commit.
The fine could range from 100$ to 200$ in most cases through a Pre-paid money pack.
Note:
Cyber criminals often updated the design of this lock screen, however you should always keep in mind that the Federal Bureau of Investigation will never lock down your computer or monitor your online activities.
The message displayed by the threat can be localized depending on the user’s location, with text written in the appropriate language.
The FBI virus is a scam, and you should ignore any alerts that this malicious software might generate.
Under no circumstance should you send any MoneyPak code to these cyber criminals, and if you have, you can should request a refund, stating that you are the victim of a computer virus and scam.
