What Happens If Your Computer Is Blocked by White Screen?

As you can see the white screen virus accuses the owner of the computer of violating copyright laws, sending spam email messages, and also distributing pornographic material online. Then, it states that a fine must be paid immediately, usually within 48 to 72 hours depending on the version of the message. The fine will range anywhere from $100 to $300 and it must be paid using the services of prepaid electronic funds transfers. Examples include Ukash, Greendot MoneyPak, and Paysafecard.

The hackers will only accept those forms of payment because it provides an instant money transfer without the option of a dispute or charge back. If they accepted debit or credit cards then the computer user could dispute the charge with their bank or credit card company, and once the issuer realized that it was a fraudulent charge from a computer hacker the transaction would be reversed.

While the message states that the block that has been placed on the computer by the white screen virus will be removed once the payment is verified, this is not accurate. Once the payment is sent there will be no further communication and the computer will remain blocked and unable to access the programs and applications. After a few days pass and the virus lock screen is still displayed the user will figure out that they have been scammed but there is nothing that they can do to attempt to recover the funds that they sent.
