What is FBI Virus Black Screen?

FBI Virus Black Screen

FBI Virus Black Screen is a ransomware infection that belongs to the 'famous' Ukash group. It acts similarly to the previous versions of this group of scams, FBI virus or FBI Moneypak: after locking computer down, it disables victim from ANYTHING and makes him/her completely disconnected from getting online or reaching important files and programs. Next to these typical symptoms, FBI Virus Black Screen has one big difference – it uses the black startup screen and audio warning, saying that you have been doing illegal actions on your PC. Before you fall for all this tricky campaign, remember that this program is FAKE and seeks only to scare you into paying the 'fine'. It has nothing to do with the governmental organization and seeks only to rip you off. Instead of paying the fine through Ukash, Moneypak or other prepayment system, we highly recommend to remove FBI Virus Black Screen immediately.

HOW CAN I GET INFECTED WITH FBI Virus Black Screen?

If you see a black screen and misleading audio notification from Federal Bureau of Investigation, you must have clicked on any free virus scanner site, spam email attachment or free movie download. Typically, this virus uses freeware or shareware when trying to come undetected. Once it gets inside the system, it locks the computer and shows a black message claiming that you have been locked because you have violated Federal law:

YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN LOCKED!
This operating system is locked due to the violation of the federal laws of the United States of America! (Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8; Article 202; Article 210 of the Criminal Code or u.s.a. provides for a deprivation of liberty for four to twelve years)
Following violations were detected:Your IP address was used to visit Web sites containing pornography, child pornography, zoophilia and child abuse. Your computer also contains video files with pornographic content, elements of violence and child pornography! Spam-messages with terrorist motives were also sent from your computer.
This computer lock is aimed to stop your illegal activity.
To unlock the cimoputer you are obliged to pay a fine of $ 200.
You have 72 hours to pay the fine, otherwise you will be arrested.You must pay the fine through MoneyPak:
To pay the fine, you should enter the digits resulting code, which is located on the back of your Moneypak, in the payment form and press OK.
If an error occurs, send the codes to address fine@fbi.gov.

This virus is clearly designed for USA, because it lists the federal laws of the United States of America. After reporting all those crimes, FBI Virus Black Screen demands to pay $200 to unlock the PC and then requires to send the codes to fine@fbi.gov. Be sure that paying this amount of money won't help you to unlock your PC because this can be done only with a technical help. Follow this post to know how you can remove FBI virus black screen:

How to prevent from getting ransomware

Stream videos without limitations, no matter where you are

There are multiple parties that could find out almost anything about you by checking your online activity. While this is highly unlikely, advertisers and tech companies are constantly tracking you online. The first step to privacy should be a secure browser that focuses on tracker reduction to a minimum.

Even if you employ a secure browser, you will not be able to access websites that are restricted due to local government laws or other reasons. In other words, you may not be able to stream Disney+ or US-based Netflix in some countries. To bypass these restrictions, you can employ a powerful Private Internet Access VPN, which provides dedicated servers for torrenting and streaming, not slowing you down in the process.

Data backups are important – recover your lost files

Ransomware is one of the biggest threats to personal data. Once it is executed on a machine, it launches a sophisticated encryption algorithm that locks all your files, although it does not destroy them. The most common misconception is that anti-malware software can return files to their previous states. This is not true, however, and data remains locked after the malicious payload is deleted.

While regular data backups are the only secure method to recover your files after a ransomware attack, tools such as Data Recovery Pro can also be effective and restore at least some of your lost data.
