Published: April 28th, 2013 Posted in System ScarewareGet rid of FBI Your Computer Has Been Locked (FBI Moneypak virus)
FBI “Your Computer Has Been Locked” infection (FBI Moneypak virus) keeps users out of access to operating system. It is categorized as ransomware for claiming fee to be paid in order to avoid criminal prosecution as screenlock and winlock for restricting access of users to computer system, in particular, to the desktop.
The malware applies language full of references to legislation persuading users of the offences committed and associated with their IPs. It says the processing of copyrighted material is forbidden according to the Section 184 paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code (US). The statement is followed by a claim that, unless $200 are paid using MoneyPak transfer system, your PC might be confiscated and case will be filed to the court.
Needless to say, removal of FBI Your Computer Has Been Locked ransomware is the only way to get rid of the alleged legal prosecution. Please note the misleading fee payment will not pay off the hackers, as any codes entered in the MoneyPak box of the nasty popup do not trigger any popup and winlock elimination processes.
