FBI pop up??? Ransome??

[J]

Hey I was using my computer and online (google chrome - incognito) and I got a scary pop up by the "FBI" that said something about porn and that they have my IP address and my location and it showed my IP address I have no idea if it was my real address or not. I got scared and quit everything and shut down really fast. I restarted my computer and now I'm running a full PC scan on my computer through bit didfender 2012 (I've had this virus blocker for a couple of months now). I've always kept everything up to date but I haven't ran a system scan in a long time. I can still get to all my files and everything is working like normal for me. Is there a possibility that was the FBI or anything?? Do I have the virus if I have control of my computer??? I'm scared they can see me passwords and what not!

Please help and thank you!!!

It's a known scam to try and steal money from you. You do not have a virus, it's just annoying as hell to close out of.

1st answer correct. SCAM. This internet can be useful, but there are some strange people in this world.

It's a total scam and has nothing to do with any law enforcement agency. Hopefully a malware scan will catch it. If not you should be able to get rid of it.
