Laptop is blocked my police?!?!?!?
I was on facebook and than all the sudden my screen went black and my camera turned on and took a picture of me. Now its on this page run by "Department of Justice Fereral Bureau of Investigation" and it has my picture and all information. It says ive been violating "Copyright Related Rights Law" or viewing porn?! Im a 16 yr old girl, i havent been doing any of that. than it says that i need to pay 200 dollars via "MoneyPak". It wont let me escape this page. I really hope this is some sort of virus I can get rid of! Help!
Thanks so much Ads |

It is a virus, and an obvious scam. I've had it too for "viewing child porn".
You need to start your computer in safe mode and restore it to either an earlier date or a complete factory restore. Ads |

it sounds like a virus or scam the best thing to do is to shut down the laptop and take it to a Professional right away.

This is a fake warning put up by scammers.
You are *not* in trouble with the police. Find someone who lives near you and know about computers to help you fix it. Google "moneypak virus" for more info. |

It is a virus. It is not the FBI.
It is a very nasty virus and hard to remove. You need professional computer assistance to remove it. |

This is the FBI virus. There are a lot of tutorials on you tube and various ways of getting rid of it. Obviously it only affected N America. I wonder if there will be a MI5 Virus in the UK!?

it's a virus.it's called "Citadel Reveton"
turn your laptop off. disconnect it from the internet.this should allow you to boot. if this doesn't work try running your pc in safe mode if it gives you the option. and run an antivirus,I used the free trial of malwarebytes http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-An...tag=button |
