Green Dot Moneypak virus (ransomware) removal for free

July 23, 2012 - PRLog -- USA today is under the serious attack of a new ransomware program called FBI Moneypack warning. This notice, however, is a fake one, it has nothing to do with Federal Bureau of Investigation. It hijacks the desktop of the infected computer, sometimes to such a serious extent that even the entire system becomes locked. This ransomware replaces the common desktop background and replaces it with its own one that looks like the one you see at the screenshot. Users who don’t know that this is a fake FBI notice are really scared, of course. Here is what they’re being accused of:
