A small doodle I did today of my sona, Talulah.
My day had been going pretty great today. Finished a plushie commission, possibly sold Shaemus to his new home (a great home too)
Had gotton on FB as I do -every night- to check messages and such. Was in the process of answering a IM on there...and my screen goes white.
Suddenly, a full screen pops up stating that the FBI was going to come arrest me if I didn't send them 200 dollars via moneypak within 24 hours because supposedly I have broken federal law by looking up child pornography? Seriously???? Along with that supposed charge, I have been accused of some kind of piracy involving illegal distribution of music/movies/other media.
Couldn't close it. Restarting the laptop didnt' fix it. SHUTTING DOWN didn't fix it. As soon as it turned back on the screen was still there. I hopped on my desktop to do some research...and nearly paniced (Okay so I am pretty much panicing now)
Turns out its very malicious, dangerous well...malware. No anti-virus software available is able to block it OR remove it. And its -extremely- difficult to remove it.
They may have gotten access to bank account, paypal, and other such information that has me absolutely paniced. I couldn't care less about the computer itself. Its the fact that things like this may be at jeopardy. I got hold of tech support on how to stall the f'ing malware until I can take it to a professional to have them service it and remove the software. Or at least keep it from spreading. I'll trash the laptop if they can keep the software from getting the information.
I'm scared. I feel sick. I am physically shaking. Please excuse me as I stress heavily over this and make some phone calls to try and get this fixed. Bear with me.
