toriu Posted January 22, 2017 ID:1090376 Share Posted January 22, 2017 A few weeks ago curiosity got the better of me and I clicked onto a picture on a Facebook page. Immediately a ransom ware came up with a voice in English which I didn't have time to listen to as I quickly hit the computer shutdown button (On the computer itself). Luckily when the computer was restarted, everything seemed OK . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H. Lipman Posted January 22, 2017 ID:1090381 Share Posted January 22, 2017 If you heard a voice, it was not ransomware. Maybe the "voice" was similar to one of these ? I have created a series of videos generated from various fraud sites for the purposes of recognition and education. They are all videos from real web sites. ALL are FRAUDS. MalwareScam.wmv MalwareScam-1.wmv MalwareScam-2.wmv MalwareScam-3.wmv MalwareScam-4.wmv MalwareScam-5.wmv MalwareScam-6.wmv ( **Also located at "My Online Security" - Some videos of typical tech support scams ) You will also see I do my best to submit as many sites as possible such that Malwarebytes' products can block access to them. You can see my submissions in; Newest IP or URL Threats labeled as "HTML.FakeAlert". Reference: US FBI PSA - Tech Support Scam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
