FBI virus
Was able to clean it using MS Forefront 2010. Set to run a full PC scan daily during lunch so I know it happened today and from this site. Anyone else have this happen? Last edited by jpalamar; 12-10-2012 at 02:23 PM. |

I remember my first time using a computer. I used Internet Explorer as well, lots of porn,readily available as today though, did what I could.
But seriously, negative Batman. Most likely your computer and you provided minimal details. Have you run any scanners on it? Malwarebytes? Spybot? |

My dad had that one. When the computer started up it came up with a locked screen saying that the FBI locked his pc and he had to pay a fee to get a unlock code.
The fee could be paid at your local 7-11 store. I didn't bother trying to remove it. I just backed up his files and reinstalled Windows.

Just got the same virus on my laptop this week. Unfortunately I'm not sure if I picked it up from TST or another website. Ended up having to manually remove it....what a pain in the ass.

I store all my personal data on redundant arrays and cloud storage, installed programs on a dedicated drive and the OS on another dedicated drive. This way I only have to wipe 1 or 2 drives and scan the raw data for threats. I also make a clonezilla backup of my OS drive this way the re-image only takes a short time rather than completing a long install process. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Also, I only use MSE and occasionally scan with spybot, malwarebytes and a couple others. Anything more is overkill.... Careful browsing and clicking is the first line of defense. |
