Removing the FBI virus from Windows
Vista
The FBI Virus has been one of the most prominent infections in 2012. It, unfortunately,
holds fast on its position in 2013 as well. There is a great number of FBI Virus versions,
all localized for a particular country and distributed by a number of Trojans, including
Trojan.Urausy, Trojan.Reveton, Trojan.Revoyem and a list of others.
FBI Virus Removal operates in a similar fashion as other ransomware programs which
lock down your computer, and then display a fraudulent screen-sized notification that
the user’s computer has been locked due to their involvement in criminal activity.
Considering that almost all versions of FBI Virus are distributed by Trojan infections, it is
very likely that you got infected with malware prior to the computer lock out. FBI Virus
belongs to a ransomware group called Ukash Virus family, and these infections have
different distribution channels.
For example, some versions of FBI Virus might be distributed via pornography websites,
with malicious links embedded in flash advertisements. Clicking on these
advertisements could result in the infection of the computer. Some types of ransomware
programs might also be distributed by a rootkit, which is even more dangerous to your
system, as rootkit removal is highly complicated.
This message usually will demand user to pay a $100 penalty for this offense through
MoneyPak. This method is a payment system that allows user to buy credit from any
partner convenience store and use the value to purchase online. This process obviously
reveals that FBI is not in any way connected to this fraud activity. Most of the text that
