Recently, my laptop is stuck at a screen saying something about the Online Agent. It has my full screen locked up and stopped me from gaining access back in my pc again. Do I need to worry about something illegal that might happen to me later on? Will police come to my house and conduct investigation? The fact is, this locking screen is from an Online Agent Virus. It’s a scam malware which isn’t real at all. One should remove this virus off the computer instead of paying the requested amount of fine.
Is Online Agent Real? Online Agent Virus Description
Online Agent Virus is categorized as a malware that has been very active lately. According to many computer users’ experiences, this virus has attacked their computers for the past few days. Based on its characters shown on computers, we can put it into the same category where the FBI MoneyPak virus and its variants, ANSSI ransomware, and ICE Cyber Crimes Center virus are listed. This Online Agent scam is playing the same old trick here on different computers but with a different name. By accusing computer users that they have violated certain rules and laws, this virus is helping remote PC hackers who create it to benefit from the money people send to unlock their PCs. This phenomenon can be treated as an internet fraud which has been popular since the day the obnoxious FBI MoneyPak virus has been released. Later on, different kinds or versions of this similar virus are being released one after another. Even though they have targets in different areas, they are all the same including this Online Agent Virus.

Is your computer locked with MoneyPak virus, Ukash virus or Paysafecard virus, which are blocking your computer and asking for $100 or other amount to unlock your computer? These viruses are made maliciously to scam computer victims for profits, though some of the ransom botnet networks have been taken down by officials of local law enforcement department like FBI and Australian Federal Police, and international police organization like Interpol and Europol.
We reported the Reveton Ransomware variants extensively last year, and with the year of 2013, the lock-screen ransomware is becoming more prevalent and more difficult to remove them completely even remotely by YooSecurity professionals, as some of the ransomware is using certain encryption algorithm to lock the files of the victims. If your PC is locked by certain MoneyPak, Ukash or Paysafecard virus, like FBI MoneyPak virus, Online Agent virus, Decrypt Protect virus and the latest International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus, don’t ever attempt to pay the ransom as the virus could still remain in your computer and compromise your privacy without any consent. YooSecurity has updated all of the FBI virus scam variants on this post.

Why did the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section Virus lock my computer if I have not done anything illegally? Is it a scam as most of people say online or I will be sued by the judicial department? It seems the only way I can escape from this is to pay the 300 dollars as it requires in 72 hours? I’m really freaking out. If my parents know this, they will beat me to death. Who can help me? Are you scared as this victim now? How about reading this post for help?

By claiming it’s the Computer Crime & Intellectual Property Section, this ransomware has been cheating more and more people.

It seems the virus knew everything they have done. This can really scare many people because they think only the real police can do this.

Can’t get rid of http://Webbrowsersearch.com redirect virus that pops up on your computer? All the browsers ( Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome) have been hijacked, It effects from Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP to Windows 8. How do i delete the Web Browser Search Toolbar from computer?
Hijacked by Webbrowsersearch.com Redirect Virus – How to Remove?
The Webbrowsersearch.com browser hijacker (also known as Web Browser Search) is an attack designed by cyber criminals and they are spreading the plug in throughout the Internet in an attempt to infect as many computers as possible. It is very similar to hijackers that redirected Internet users to Sirefef.gen!c, Mixidj.claro-search.com or delta search engine. While Web Browser Search is created by a legitimate company many computer users report that webbrowsersearch.com was set as their default search engine and homepage without their permission. This is a browser redirect that will take the user to a “search engine” that resembles the most popular ones but there is one big difference: this one doesn’t really work. When a search is performed the user is just taken to a webpage that is packed full of ads and links that pay the hacker each time they are clicked on. While some browser hijacks are designed just to make money from click, this one is a bit more dangerous. Read the rest of this post »

Keep getting a popup screen from : http://pcspeedplus.com/scan/ that says “Critical Security Warning! Your PC was infected with self-replicating virus after Spyware attack. XP Micro Antivirus will per form a free scan of your PC to find all System Threats.” in Windows XP. How can i delete XP Micro Antivirus Online Scan fake alert? I don’t know if this happens in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, but all the browsers ( Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome and so on) have been hijacked fully.
How do i get rid of URL “http://pcspeedplus.com/scan/” that keeps bringing up fake AD?
The http://pcspeedplus.com/scan/ is a browser hijack that attacks PC users running Windows and will change the default browser in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer and send the user to a destination that is full of advertisements, sponsored listings, ad annoying pop up ads. It is the same dangerous as http://start.sweetpacks.com/ virus. Once installed, it will redirect the user to a page controlled by the organization behind the hijacker. This started after user saw a popup that was from Adobe Flash Player to update software and started to do the “custom” install. If you “uninstalled” the new stuff, and then started getting these popups. Downloaded “Adblocker”, changed pop-up blocker setting to “Medium” risk, and put this URL on my “Don’t allow” list, but it just keeps popping up. AVG Free kept popping up with : AVG Detection: Threat: Exploit Rogue Scanner (type 831) Object name: http://pcspeedplus.com/scan/. You still got a pop-up from Windows IE: hidefinstall.com saying it was reported as an “unsafe” website and recommended that you go to your home page instead.Unsuspecting users might not realize it for the first couple of times, but it will become evident fairly quickly that their normal Google, Yahoo, or Bing search pages have been replaced.

Lately, my computer screen always pops up an antivirus screen. It’s the 24/7 PC Guard which seems to be an antivirus software. But I haven’t given permission for it to install on my PC. Where does it come from? Is this 24/7PC Guard a legit antivirus software? Why does it always run scans through the PC automatically and detect many problems while my other antivirus won’t? It’s absolutely annoying. I want to get rid of this 2/7PC Guard software.
24/7 PC Guard – Rogue Antispyware Description
24/7 PC Guard is a software that looks like an antivirus application. It’s been reported to show up on many computers without permission lately. As a matter of fact, this PC Guard is a rogue antisypware which belongs to a computer virus. We can also find out this fact from the “Internet Security 2013” virus which is quite active in these days. A fake antivirus software is usually associating with computer hackers behind the surface. This 24/7PC Guard virus looks like a real antivirus software. It even acts like a legit antivirus program. However, judging from its characters, this unwanted software is being categorized as a rogue antispyware which has been a computer problem for a long time and should be watching out. Ordinary computer users will be easily tricked by this program and their money will be collected as well as private info. It’s actually an international issue as this 24/7 PC Guard virus can be spread over the internet and can attack PCs from different areas.
