FBI Virus Alert - Story by Mobile Tech Computer Services - Author Jacob Loudin

Did you know that the FBI virus is one of the most destructive viruses you can get over the internet?  This malware type virus can sneak onto your system by going through security vulnerabilities on your computer. It is combined with something called the MoneyPak Virus which locks you completely out of your computer and forces you to pay money to unlock your files, music, pictures, and everything else on your computer. It does this by trying to trick you and saying that you have committed a federal crime and must pay a ransom to unlock your computer to be able to use it again.
This is why it is always important to make sure you have good up-to-date security on your computers.  Norton, Kaspersky, Avast and Mcafee are only a few amazing securities to use to help prevent this virus. Even with this security though you may still be able to get infected. Depending on what sites you visit, the FBI virus might still be able to find security flaws and sneak onto your computer.
To reduce your chance of infections, it is recommended to download programs directly from the software vendor.  For example, if you wanted to download Avast security, go to www.avast.com to obtain the download.  Also, stay away from ads that try to trick you such as “your drivers are out of date, click and download this to update them now” or “is your computer to slow, download/click on this to make your computer faster. These are fake offers and by clicking on them you are just downloading viruses and malware onto your computer and placing your computer at risk of getting infections.
