It's obvious that scammers have just updated this ransomware and started to spread it va Android. Fortunately, we have managed to create specific removal instructions. When trying to remove this threat, you should do that:
1. Reboot your Android device into Safe Mode:
* Find the power button and press it for a couple of seconds until you see a menu. Tap the Power off.
* Once you see a dialog window that offers you to reboot your Android to Safe Mode, select this option and OK.
* If this failed to work for you, just turn off your device and then turn it on. Once it becomes active, try pressing and holding Menu, Volume Down, Volume Up or Volume Down and Volume Up together to see Safe Mode.
2. Uninstall malicious app (FBI Android virus may hide under BaDoink, Video Player, Network Driver System, Video Render, ScarePakage and other suspicious names):
* When in Safe Mode, go to Settings. Once there, click on Apps or Application manager (this may differ depending on your device).
* Here, look for previously mentioned malicious app(s) and uninstall all of them.
If this failed, enter a random, 15 digit length, code of imaginary MoneyPak xpress Packed voucher that is asked by FBI android virus or follow these steps:
