Hello all,
I was working on my laptop today when it, all the sudden, froze up, took a picture of me and then showed me a screen saying I was in violation of numerous laws and had 72 hours to pay $300 using a greendot prepaid credit card. I assume this happened from searching the internet and clicking on bogus links. I did have one issue with numerous popups today, but I was trying to close them as fast as I could.
Anyway, I've spent quite a bit of time reading on this forum and trying to make sure I get the right instructions to clean my laptop? When I restart my laptop, it goes to the same screen. A grey/white screen reporting NSA or some other logo saying I'm in violation of some laws and demanding $300 within 72 hours". I can't access anything windows. This screen is blocknig all of my activity (but I can hear skype running in the background). I've also tried SAFE MODE... It simply reboots into normal windows mode and I'm locked again.
Thus, I was hoping there was a command line function that would allow me to scan my laptop from DOS? I see other instructions for Cryptolock cleaning, but wanted to make sure I don't follow the wrong instructions. Can someone please assist when they have the time?
Thank you in advance..
MS Edge Sites Blocked as potential Malware with MYB
in Website Blocking
Posted
I've been up early and working since 5am. Everything was fine this morning and about an hour ago Malwarebytes started blocking Bloomberg and Yahoo as potential malware.
I use these sites almost every day for access to financial news and content.
I'm pretty sure there is no problem on Yahoo or Bloomberg (unless there is a broad level attack taking place).
Any idea what's going on?
