HOW CAN I REMOVE FBI VIRUS?

In order to remove this virus, you should unlock your computer first of all. For that, we recommend using another PC that has an Internet connection and the steps listed bellow:
1. Take another machine and use it to download spyhunteror other reputable anti-malware program. You can also try downloading stopzilla or malwarebytes.
2. Update the program and put into the USB drive or simple CD.
3. In the meanwhile, reboot your infected machine to Safe Mode with command prompt and stick USB drive in it.
4. Reboot computer infected with virus once more and run a full system scan.

Hi there thanks for your reply. It was a friend that was infected and I managed to remove it just using ctrl alt del and shut it down using task manager. However I am now told that sometimes this doesn't work and so I was looking for a more definitive solution. I think that by looking at your link that you have it pretty well covered. Thanks and all the best Tuckup

You wouldnt have removed it m8 by using alt ctrl delete,just ended the process.If and when i get a virus just back up want you want and wipe it,the time you can spend fannying about trying to get rid of it,you could have done a fresh install..................

The best and fastest way is Malwarebytes. After that, you'll get some resident leftovers in the registry with CCleaner. No need to do a fresh install; that's a last resort.

Using alt ctrl delete will do NOTHING, but shut down your PC.
Use as mentioned above, you need to run some spy/ad ware tools like Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware then the SUPERAntiSpyware program.
Run both, reboot after each and you should be clean. Then once a month after, do it again and your fine.
Both can be found as free ware or at least cracks are available to use them. Ask me if you need help.

The FBI money scam demand is a joke, but if it hits you, then your not safe from other attacks.
Myself, I do this all the time, plus I use a noirvpn program that changes my IP, so when these crap hackers try to hit you, they end up the trash bin of my vpn provider. I use a vpn IP changer all the time, no matter what I do. I don't get the spam crap anymore. I use noirvpn.com and it does work for me.
Do as you want, just my free advice..
