I've been hearing about a virus going around lately that is meant to lock up someones computer with an FBI message accusing you of sexual offenses and threatening imprisonment if you don't pay through MoneyPak. It's a scam, I just want to alert the online community of this so people will not be tricked into paying these thieves.

Nonetheless, here's instruction on how to remove the virus, if you ever get it.

Sounds similar to the one accusing the user of piracy.
