I know this is not fishing related but thought that it may help anyone that gets the AFP screen that tells you that your PC is locked out till 100 dollars is paid.


I turned my PC on this morning to find that I somehow got the Australian Federal Police ransom screen that says that my PC has been locked because I have been looking at things I should not and I have to pay 100 dollars to uKash to get the lock taken off. This is a bloody ripoff.



Luckily I could still access the net as administrator and downloaded a free program - http://malwaretips.com/download-malwarebytes (mhtml:{C2AB7EDC-E068-403A-B29A-0D06869C2B59}mid://00000008/!x-usc:http://malwaretips.com/download-malwarebytes) -
which gets rid of this ransomware and other sh*t.



Hope you dont have to use the software.
