FBI Green Dot
I got the FBI Green Dot virus tonight. Seems to me it happened after I visited a providers website. It pops up a screen and you can do nothing. Rebooting does nothing. Comes up in a screen and can do nothing. It says its from the FBI and to "unlock" your computer pay the fine of $300, on line no less. Well, no money was spent from my checking account.
Anybody else have this? How do you get it? I did not download any programs or click OK to anything.
Just wondering.

I had the same problem a few months ago. I updated my antivirus software and it took care of the problem. Hope that helps.

Rebooted in safe mode. Then chose a restore point. When restore was finished ran a anti-virus program the search engine found. Found and deleted several files.

I am under the impression that if no files are downloaded a virus cannot get to your computer.
I did not download any files or click on OK to install anything. Sounds likes I have the wrong impression.

You don't have to download, most viruses find security breaches in everyday programs....java, adobe, I.e., etc. Keep them all updated you should be fine.
