My laptop recentley got the "Moneypak FBI" virus, I have no clue how to get rid of it and it said in 48 hours I will lose my laptop if I don't pay 400 dollars. Can I get any help in removing it without giving the hacker the money? This is scary as hell. I've heard of other people getting it aswell, but I need tips before I use google as a fix source.
 
What have you recently downloaded? Games? Torrents?
Also, what anti-virus software are you using?
 
I use Mcafee, and I don't torrent, I recentley downloaded a Scars modified pack, it included supposedley "Cars featured in Metro 2033/ Carts"

It was sent to me via email, so I guess I didn't make the best of descisions.
 
I found this.

The only way to be certain is to reformat your drive. Backup any save games, word files, pictures you want to save onto a cloud storage medium (Dropbox) and do a full reformat maybe even going as far to use DBAN (http://www.dban.org/) to ensure it's clean.

In the future use Microsoft Security Essentials and maybe Spyware Search and Destroy in unison as well as a few safe browsing addons like AdBlock, Ghostly, etc.

Don't use Macafee.
 
I'm taking it to best buy to get it wiped, that video didn't work sadly :c
 
Don't pay BestBuy to do something you can easily do yourself.

if you really believed that an .exe file belongs in a gmod addon then you...
im not going to say it because its not nice...
 
Anyone who ever says 'reinstall windows' or 'wipe harddrive' or just shoot an FN-FAL into your fucking tower is wasting your time for software issues. There is -always- steps to remove viruses individually on google. I got rid of this one a few months back, was fairly easy.

Just be careful what site you go on so you don't pick up more. This is what I used. Malware bytes specifically.
