So I can’t do anything to get rid of the virus and unlock my phone, please help me out of this annoying problem.
What is FBI Virus? How Dangerous Is It?
FBI Virus is classified to be a kind of ransomeware which created by cyber criminals. It warns the device is locked due to violation of federal laws of United States of America because your device was used to visit websites containing pornography, child pornography, zoophilia, child abuse or bulk-spamming. And then the victim is told to pay 500 USD in order to unlock the device – this is supposedly the fine demanded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation so that the person evades legal prosecution. It threatens that you will be taken to the court, bear some legal consequence or put into jail for 5-8years if you don’t pay the fine of $500 within 24/72 hours. Under no circumstance, should people trust this message. It is a trick made by cyber hackers who want to gain illegal benefits from innocent people. Once your device is infected with this fake FBI message, don’t be fooled by it and pay the fine, it won’t help you solve this problem at all.
It is an extremely vicious virus that is able to lock all your phone or tablet and make you have no ability to use your phone or tablet normally. In some case, the victims can turn off their phones. But in some case, the victims even can’t turn their phone off. To make the FBI virus more genuine, it displays your IP address, contacts, country, location, even your image screenshot. This entire message is very horrible when inexperienced users saw it. However, that is just a tricking tactic using to scare people and convince victims into paying money. The final goal of ransomware like FBI malware is to extort money from phone/android users. You should notice that your android device may be still locked even though you pay that crap fine within limited time. Eventually you will get nothing fixed by money loss.

If you don’t have an anti-virus or it is not updated, your android phone is then exposed to risks.
