So, there is a new creative Malware circulating throughout the US and world. It is called the FBI Virus and when it infects your computer it displays the following screen:
This screen prevents you from doing anything with your PC except entering payment information. Since this is NOT a real message from the FBI or any law enforcement agency and there is a simple fix. Download ComboFix, Install it. Reboot the PC in to safe mode and run Combo Fix. Allow it to scan and clean everything it finds. Then update your antivirus and other malware software and allow them to perform a full system scan. This is the easiest and most direct way of getting rid of this Nag Screen, which will not go away or allow you to do anything else until you do. Also, there is no guarantee that paying the fee will get rid of the issue and that it wont just keep popping up randomly and demand money.
