The LockDown Virus
Hi guyz after a long time.
Few days ago I was stuck by a virus.(so funny a virus maker itself became a victim of virus).
After this incident i made a reserch on this topic and this what the post is about.
Well todays post isn't on creation of virus but avoiding it. Guyz this virus isn't like the ones which can be detected by our Anti-Virus. Yes our AntiVirus couldn't determine such type of virus since it comes in a .exe
extention. This virus gets triggered with the user it self. We ourself give it execution because we are fooled.
We daily download some softwares and programmes but some programe are PAID ones or need REGESTRATION so what do we generally do is find their cracks on the internet.
And you might be knowing that some websites give u the crack in a .RAR file or any compressed file.
So now what happens is that the .RAR file contains the .exe file with the crack name or something else
so we open it and bang everything closes and a dialog box come and its written their that "YOUR IP HAS FOUND TO BE SUSPICIOUS AND HENCE YOUR PC HAS BEEN LOCKDOWN AND TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE'NT THE CRIMINAL DO A SURVEY, AFTER WHICH YOU WILL GET A CODE TO UNLOCK UR PC " so this virus wants you to do a survey on a sight.
Nobody would like to do this survey because this survey never complets and its a waste of time and the bigest problem would with the people who don't have internet.
Now lets see what type of virus is this, this virus lock your PC from all mode it even allows you to open your TASKMANAGER and if you restart your PC it immediately comes up the moment you get started on PC.Now this virus is generally called as FBI virus in America. But the FBI virus is totally different from the virus which i mentioned about.But the
What is the FBI virus?
Now can do the following steps if you are victim
*Logging in as a different user
In most cases if there are multiple accounts on your Window’s system you will be able to access the other accounts that are not infected without conflict.
If a second account has administrator rights, in some cases you will be able to remove the infection using this user. To learn more please visit the bottom of this page and view relating forum topics.
Deny flash option
The FBI Moneypak virus utilizes flash and in some cases, disabling (denying) flash can “freeze” the FBI Moneypak virus (suspend), which allows proper removal methods to be performed. Please note this is not a necessity, nor will this remove the virus. This is only an option for specific individual infections. *This may be skipped.
1. To disable (deny) flash
visit:http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help09.html
Deny Flash
2. Select the “Deny” radio option
3. Proceed to a removal option: Anti malware software scan and removal or system restore.
What does denying flash do?
If you select Deny, the malicious application does not have access to your camera or your microphone. The application will continue running, but may not function as intended. Alternately, the application may inform you that it can’t continue unless you allow access, in which case you can either allow access or close the application.
Now u can do such thing if got stuck with such cases.
But what if you are already a victim. Some solutions say that start your PC in safe mode but what if you have WINDOWS 8 where you can't start in SAFE MODE.
I got a solution which is simple and very effective and time saving. I found this solution when I was also stuck with this virus as i mentioned in starting
1.First when this virus stuck your PC it only allows you to use your BROWSER since thats the only way to do survey as per the PRESENTAATION of virus.
2. Here give a right click on in the browser anywhere you will find a option in popup menu as "SAVE AS" click it it will lead you to a small explorer window which you are fimiliar and through that window navigate to the folder from where you executed the virus file and DELETE that folder which was extracted.
3.Now if u are a WINDOWS 8 user there u can' t use go to SAFE MODE option so heres the solution
After deleting the folder restart your PC and when the PC is restarting and you see the windows loading icon i.e BLUE icon and a loading dots press the restart button which is on your CPU or LAPTOP
4.Again the PC starts and again the windows is going to load, so now again press the restart button i.e you are forcing again and again your PC to reboot.
5.And the WINDOWS OS thinks that the PC has gota problem and next time when it starts don't do any
let the WINDOWS start the Windows will atomatically go in DIAGNOSIS mode and ask for repair
6.There go to "ADVANCE" options and choose the restore point option and so the PC will restore to earlier point and you will be out of the Situation.
This worked greatly with me.
HOPE you keep this post in mind and help yourself from such attacks.
But why do something only after you get attacked so follow some precausions like installing you PC with softwares like
Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware
This programe works good.
Hope you like this and may help someone.

What is the FBI virus?
The FBi virus is a malware(FBI Moneypak virus, FBI computer lock) .It is also termed as RANSOMWARE . This virus was founded in 2012, this virus attacks both WINDOWS and MAC Operating Systems. In case of FBI virus the Cyber criminals use this malware in order to attempt to disguise themselves as the FBI so they can scare victims into paying an unnecessary fine. The user is presented with a page that claims a computer user violated the law and now the computer owner must pay a fine in order to unlock their browser or computer. Some of the FBI computer viruses may claim to encrypt a computer’s files and hold them hostage until a fine is paid.
