Is The FBI Holding Your Computer for Ransom? - Comments Page 2

This is why I use Linux for surfing. :-D

A lot of people don't know that you can easily install both Lin and Win on the same machine, and switch between them at startup.

You can use Win to control your desktop and for safe surfing you can use Lin. If you don't want to install anything, you can use Puppy Linux which runs entirely from the CD and makes no changes to your system.

I have run into fbi 2-3 times,and utilized windows 7 boot repair, free download from m/s. change the boot sequence at start-up to disk-drive, when it boots it runs like a mini win. program and allows you to access sys.restore, ccleaner,malwarebytes,privazer,etc,without having to use safe mode...last time, eliminated virus in less than 10 min....

Hi all, I have gotten this FBI ransomware several times and the only thing i had to do was as soon as it popped up, i dod not click on anything except task manager, closed the progran,had to hit the end now box that comes up, and everything is golden. No problems at all, Win Vista. Hope this helps save some problems for everyone, just DON'T Click on anything, except task mgr.
