My school was full of those, the only solution was to go on safe mode and use a script that would run automatically to find out what scripts were running and from where, then finishing wscript.exe There was also another one that would make shortcuts in your USB sticks and all of them linked to the virus, while making the original folders hidden. It was a chaos.
We have the same shit in Germany for quite a time now, only they are not even trying, instead of paying trough paypal they say you have to buy a paysafecard...
I had this virus. You could skip past the screen by turning the computer off but when it gets to the "waiting for the following programs to close" screen you just press cancel. Then I used malwarebytes and all was good.
Tom Hardy, is that you?

It hid every single file deleted all the links and then popped up a message saying my HDD was failing. Completely impossible to fix unless you happen to have a backup lying around, had to reinstall windows :(
[QUOTE=Sokrates;41596745]A friend of mine got this virus a couple of weeks ago. He panicked when his computer booted up to a white screen with an fbi logo in the middle, asking him to pay up through paypal or go to jail.[/QUOTE] Someone down here had the same thing. I've seen it before and got rid of it from a couple computers, but this woman who got it thought it was because of her son, and actually paid the money. The Moneypak virus I think it's called Some people will just not question anything [editline]26th July 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Karmal Khan;41598899]I'm currently in the process of removing it from a computer this very moment. It seems to be making a comeback.[/QUOTE] There's an easy temporary solution that seems to work, also, and that's just running rstrui.exe from the command console, since you can't even boot up in safemode or anything without it taking over, and then getting rid of it from there's quite easy
I remember this happening to my best friend a random screen opened up telling him to pay money to some account that supposedly belonged to the Belgian internet crime Police Force or face criminal charges for watching child porn I told him that no police force in the world would just let him go free by paying that and told him to call the police. They simply got their tech service guys, who told him it's a common occurence on a lot of sites and gave him a step-by-step walkthrough via the phone on how to remove the virus manually Chill dudes
The scary thing is that there is a virus that actually downloads cp on your computer.

So this virus got massively distributed like that virus that added ads all over your browser? How long ago did this virus start getting distributed? (I'm away on vacation and using my Vita to access the web)
I've seen this virus 3 times at work, twice from the same guy. What shady ass websites are you viewing to get this virus? The one we had has the ability to force on the webcam of the laptop, then plays a message full volume out of the speakers like 'YOU ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION'. It tells you to pay with prepaid cards from gas stations and shit, it even listed some prepaid game cards you could buy. It's hilarious to me that anyone would ever fall for it. You must be dumber than a sack of bricks to believe it.

[QUOTE=Dr.C;41598866]This is true, in fact, I got this email today. [url]http://i.imgur.com/IRGMrXu.jpg[/url] I keep getting emails like this too. They're hilarious because they say I've been charged $11000 but that's impossible because I've never seen that much money in my life. I'm just a poor student who's mooching off his parents[/QUOTE] "Dude, come on. don't ignore us. -PayPal"
My 11 year old brother managed to get this on his computer earlier this year. He woke up at about 5AM whilst everyone was still asleep and used my mom's PC and email account to send an email to the local police department saying he didn't look at and child porn and if he did he doesn't remember it and he's very very sorry. When my mom checked her emails later in the day she saw the reply from the police office to my younger brother. Firstly telling him that he had emailed the wrong department, he had in fact emailed the department that deals in stolen metal materials. And secondly that it sounds like his pc has a bad virus and he should take it to a repair shop.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;41603041]"Dude, come on. don't ignore us. -PayPal"[/QUOTE] That's actually what they sent me this morning [url]http://imgur.com/HzImcC7[/url] PayPal wouldn't bother telling me shit like this, they'd just freeze what's left in my account after the steam sale
[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;41596668]job well done. respect virus creators. they're here for your safety.[/QUOTE] thanks
just how dumb do you have to be to turn yourself in to the police like that? pedos are sick and should be stopped, yes. It's good that he was caught, but did he even stop to think for a second?

That shit was jarring enough when it was some imaginary video game dudes in The Elder Scrolls.
