I was watching antvenom YouTube videos and i clicked on his elemental creeper's mod video and my computer started flipping out and then it went to a full screen thing that said my computer was locked because i was watching inappropriate videos of children (I most definitiely wasent). It said in the top left corner that it was the fbi but it also said that i had to pay some money using money pack to remove it. I knew that the fbi would not do this so i went to there website on my iphone and saw that this was a major scam right now and i needed to get in contact with ic3 (i think that's what it was called). I am currently waiting for a response from them. I was just wondering if any of you guys had this problem and if you knew if it was Spyware or Malware. If you have had this problem i beg you to please post a response in the description on how to fix it. It isint a virus because their was nothing being downloaded.
Firstly - Download Avast! Antivirus - Update it and then run a scan - I've personally nearly had this malware, However it was blocked by chrome and removed by avast! - It get's through due to a loophole in flash I believe.
Norton 360 has come through for me time & time again. I believe Avast or Norton. Just don't get McAfee. I don't even consider them an anti-virus program...
http://blog.yoocare.com/pc-locked-fbi-moneypak-virus-malware-removal-guide/ - Scroll about half way down. Seems that it paralyses anti-virus' so that's annoying...
look this wouldn't have happened if you used Chrome plus Norton 360/Kaspersky Man I gotta love Kaspersky xD
It can't paralyse avast - Avast has shell protection which means you cannot physically disable it and it just goes into lockdown mode if you attempt to end it's processes.
I'm having the third-party advertisement problem on the minecraft wiki, minecraft forums, and minecraft network.
The only reason you would use that is if you want an update every 6 months and only catches 60% of viruses.
Avast is a great free anti-virus. Also check out WOT as an extension for your browser; it helps give you info on URL's before clicking on one. WOT DL: https://www.mywot.com/en/download
One reason I hate it: Everytime I load my computer up I get 'Your running the 60 day free trial upgrade now!' And my computer doesn't like having to load much when it starts up. Steam I need to change...
You need to register it for free - in the interface, Just click the register now Settings > Sounds > Events > Untick Automatic Update > To 'Popups' > Update popups> 0 seconds > Profit?!
Just downloaded Avast! First thing it did was send me an Obama or Romney survey. Even anti-viruses like to spam me with this junk.
You will never, ever get a virus if you have a mac. Steve Jobs You can still afford a Doctor of you bought a PC Bill Gates
