ransomware aka FBI virus
#20326053 - 07/25/14 09:38 AM (9 years, 9 months ago) |

So a buddy calls me up saying his pc is locked and cannot access the net other than a redirection to a page that says the FBI has locked his PC for an infraction. He then goes on to say that he must pay a 600.00 fine via green money pak or he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
I told him to pull the battery asap and bring it over.
I ran the pc in safe mode and then did a system restore. Once restored I ran windows defender and malwarebytes. Nothing came up on WD, but a handful of shit came up on MWB. I went ahead quarantined everything then deleted it all.
What do you guys think? Is the pc in good health? Is there a better prgm I could run or is there a sure fire way of getting rid of this FBI shit?
He said he got the letter after going to putlocker and watching a movie.

Obviously, the FBI have nothing to do with this, but I trust you figured that out already 
Just remove all malware; MWB with an up-to-date database or something similar such as Hitman Pro should do the trick.
Odds are your friend will be back in a few weeks with fresh malware for you to remove.

Try ubuntu
I never liked windows7, I like the design of windows xp, 98,95,3.11,2000 much better
Win7 is too much eyecandy and too slow for me
Ubuntu is much better, never gets slow, never gets virus(so you dont need antivirus which slows your computer down 80% or so!!)
Ubuntu works for most things
Use the operating system that supports your needs, that is as stable as you need it
Windows xp is not an option anymore
tehre is only ubuntu or win7 as options it seems winxp doesnt support netbanking/java anymore it seems, even though I liked winxp 100x better than win7

Am I missing something? I thought OP was asking how to clean his friend's PC, not which operating system to convert him to for technoreligious purposes.

I was reading a bit on hit man last night. Ill run this tonight as a precautionary step.
The second he said "pay fine using a green money pak" I started he was mad at first because he was freaked the fuck out, but eventually saw the humor in it. 
Its an interesting virus though. I guess it blocks portals and allows for a "hacker" to access your shit and use your webcam and other fun little pc stuff. I feel bad for the people that fall for this shit though.
Reminds me of those zimbabway emails asking for money in exchange for some rubys or some shit.

Your friends PC "should" be good.
I would also run RogueKillerx64, and HitMan Pro 3, just to be 1000% sure.
But damn man how the hell did he get a ransomware on his desktop? That's so sad it's almost funny.

He said his son caught the V while trying to watch How To Train A Dragon 2. 
I'm sure he will be back with another issue, but I'm cool with it because he pays in pills.
