Then it makes me fill in a survey to get unblocked but it involves putting my card number into the survey. Is this any thing to do with police survey? what should i do?
Computer Has Been Blocked by “This website has been blocked for you!” Notification – How to Unlock Your Computer From The Warning Screen?
The “This website has been blocked for you!” Virus is a new ransomware attack that has been hitting computer users in the English speaking countries recently. It is extremely similar to the old FBI virus that was targeting the same geographic location. This attack is passed onto the computer during the installation of a program that was downloaded online, opening an attachment, playing a video file, or by visiting a site that has been compromised by the “This website has been blocked for you!” virus. Once it finishes installing it will immediately lock the computer and display a message claiming that the user has violated the law and must now pay a fine of 100 pounds before access to the computer will be granted. There are two options that can be used to pay the claim, and they are ukash and paysafecard. While the message appears to come directly from the cyber police and even displays the IP address of the user to make it appear that they truly do have the correct person. This is NOT a message from the Police, as it is a fraudulent extortion attempt by cyber criminals and hacker organizations who are attempting to steal money from unsuspecting PC users.
