Hello, please help me! It’s embarrassing.

I was so scared, it was like my heart went up to my neck and I felt it beating there! Is it real? Was I really noticed by FBI police for watching illegal porn video? If my mom knows that, I would be killed! I am really freaked out to death. I power off my tab then power it on, but this FBI criminal warning is still blocking there. What can I do to get rid of it?

Petya virus ransomware is not a traditional ransomware virus; it is a new encryption virus. Petya virus prevents users from booting their operating systems. The ransomware replaces the master boot record with a malicious loader, and then automatically restarts the computer. Once the computer rebooted, the new malicious loader will execute and begin encrypting files. During this process, a fake check disk screen is shown. Since 2010, the most popular way used by ransomware to extort money has been to remain hidden on the victim’s computer for an amount of time long enough to encrypt all of their files. Very high-grade encryption algorithms are usually employed. User’s options to recover their files without paying the ransom boiled down to basically having a back up copy or using a program that restores deleted files.
