Attention! Online Agent has blocked your computer for security reason Virus Blocked PC – How to Unlock

The Attention! Online Agent has blocked your computer for security reason Virus is believed to be a new variant of ransomware that’s quite similar to the well-known FBI MoneyPak virus which is sponsored by cyber criminals instead of local government to deceive money from innocent PC users. This new version, different from other members from the same category which normally require an amount of fine ranged from $100 USD – $500 USD or similar amounts in other currencies, asks only for a fine of $10.95 USD to unlock PCs which is quite a tricky way to convince more victims that it’s legit. However, the amount of fine required does not change the fact that this ‘Online Agent has blocked your computer for security reason’ block is a scam. And paying this $10.95 USD fine certainly won’t help you unlock computers from this unwanted message but will benefit cyber criminals continuously till the scam virus is removed completely.

Similar to other ransomware from same group, the process of this Attention! Online Agent has blocked your computer for security reason Virus can be distributed on the Internet by bundling with malicious sites, spam freeware and attachments to attack PCs from different areas around the globe. Computers with Windows OS are the major targets of this ransomware. But lately, Mac book users can sometimes be targeted by such similar block messages also. Browsers can be blocked on Mac.
