After seeing Camry post in the Providers link. Went to her website and was Blasted with the "FBI" virus. I got it removed, but it took some time. Be careful. Travel at your own risk!!!!! Don't know if this is the right place for this I will let the "Mods" figure it out.

Use Apple products and you won't be as susceptible to such items.

Its not a knock when its giving folks a virus. It should never happen and its laughable that it is happening.

Same here not a knock on the provider, just wanted to let everyone know there is a problem there. Thanks VK for chiming in and letting our other brothers and sisters out there aware of this problem.
Hey KenMonk, I know you did not mean it this way....I'm just finally sitting back, enjoying some green tea, and glad to have my computer back.

But if you get the virus, it really not very laughable. But I did get a kick of their description of the virus...the FBI virus is called a ransom-virus....they want you to pay $200 to make it go away, lol
Vk is this something penicillan will rid you of?

LOL
Unfortunately the penicillan solution would be way to easy of an option...computers and myself have a tense relationship when all is going well.

Luckily for me, a friend of mine was able to tackle it...while I did the peanuts and milk duds thing, i.e. watching
I had no problems or warnings when I accessed her website
Moved thread to Sandbox as this does not constitute a threat to personal safety

Actually my friend did not require a charge....however I had to cover the milk duds and peanuts costs, along with a nice visit at J Alex, lol
