| Has anybody else gotten this f*&^ing FBI virus? I have it on my desktop and whenever I get on it, suddenly this thing pops up and says the FBI has locked my computer for XYZ reason and in order to get it unlocked I have to pay $200. There are about a million different websites explaining how to get rid of it, all of them different. Has anybody had this virus and gotten rid of it? If so, how? |

step 1. restart pc pressing F8 repeatedly, select safe mode with networking
step 2. when pc boots up download malwarebytes step 3. run full scan, remove all threats once its finished. step 4. send me a pmag for fixing your computer ETA: system restore is a temporary fix, malwarebytes removes it |

Quoted:
As stated, reboot in safe mode, download and run Malwarebytes. That's what I did, although I couldn't get it to give me the safe mode option. It's gone, in any case. Got it from a forum when I was looking for information on the ARP Afonso de Albuquerque and the action in which it was lost during the war between India and Portugal in 1961. |
