Virus Moneypak FBI is a new rogueware infection aimed at stealing your money. The Virus Moneypak FBI utilizes a variety of tactics such as social engineering in order to persuade unsuspecting victims to pay an unnecessary fine by making fraudulent claims that the computer has been involved in illegal activity (cyber crime) by the FBI (downloaded or distributed copyrighted material or viewed child pornography, etc.). This Virus Moneypak FBI once in will lock down the PC and displays an IE screen saying the computer is on locked down by the FBI and you must pay a $100 fine to unlock the PC. It uses trojans to lock the victim’s computer, to which Virus Moneypak FBI then displays a message stating that you have been involved in cybercrime activities and may face jail time if the user does not pay a fine. Remember one thing this is fake WARNING/SCAM that comes only to earn money from innocent users. Remember No legal authority ask or demand you like this.
