How to Unlock Computer From FBI Virus Locked Screen?

The FBI virus (also known as FBI Moneypak virus or FBI virus scam) is a very tricky malware that is placed onto the computer through Trojan lock screens. There are several versions of the FBI virus, with each one claiming to come directly from the Federal Bureau of Investigation or United States Department of Justice. The warning message that is displayed to the user looks very authentic with official logos and seals of the FBI. When this warning message pops up it locks the computer and disables all functions of the computer, and the message displayed claims that the computer has been locked because it has been linked to copyright violations, along with allegations of sending SPAM email and the distribution of pornographic material online. Sometimes the computer displays white screen, if your PC is locked up with a notice from the FBI stating that you have been watching child porno and must pay a fine of $300. What to do to remove FBI virus without downloading things?

All of these warning messages are the work of computer hackers, who use these threatening messages as a way to extort money from computer users. It is important to understand that the FBI would never lock a user’s computer and demand a fine be paid via Moneypak through the computer, as these viruses do. They are simply just malware attacks and need to be deleted immediately from the computer. The messages all ask for payment for violating the law, and claim that if the fine is paid quickly (usually within 48 hours or 72 hours) that there will not be any additional fines and there will not be any criminal charges processed. So, they are using fear along with a real looking message as a way to scare infected computer users into paying this money.

There are a half dozen different versions of the FBI virus, and they all tend to require that a different prepaid payment method is used. A lot of these viruses are targeted by region, and they demand fines anywhere between $100 and $300 each (Sometimes it can be $100, $200, $300, $350, $400, $450 or $500). The number is low enough that many computer users are so scared of what may happen if they ignore the message, that they quickly pay the fine. The message also claims that the computer will be unblocked once the payment is verifier. They will soon realize that they have been scammed when the PC remains locked even after the time elapses from the point that the fine is paid. The message states that it could take up to 72 hours for the unlock to be processed, but that is not true, as the only way to remove the computer lock is to delete the FBI virus from the computer.

Why Is There A Lock On My Computer Saying FBI Has Locked Your Computer?

There are a couple ways that the hackers are able to spread the FBI virus across so many computers. One of the ways involves hiding the malware within email attachments and sending out millions of SPAM messages every day. The body of the email encourages the users to open the attachment, and if that is done the FBI virus will automatically install on the computer and launch the computer lock and warning message. Unfortunately, computer users still open up email from unknown senders and this is one of the ways that this virus is spread so quickly across the Internet.

The criminals behind this virus are also hiding it within download files on the popular files sharing websites that receive millions of visitors every day. These visitors download free files and don’t think about the possibility of additional attacks being packed within the downloads. This careless practice leads to millions of users picking up the FBI virus this way.  To unlock your computer and avoid other legal consequences, you are obligated to pay a release fee of $300.00.
