How is everyone doing? I got the stupid department of justice moneypak virus and im locked out of my computer. Scared me half to death! Lol im like "i surf youtube, facebook, twitter, a few music websites and thats it!" Then I saw it said my location was macon georgia...i live hours away from macon...and then asked for money instead of legal action. Something didnt sound right. Not only should there not be anything on my computer outside of pictures and videos of my kids...but the department of justice should be able to pinpoint my city correctly. I did a search on my phone and sure enough...its a scam. Now ive also realized every time I turn it off and back on the timer restarts. I just need some help trying to get it off now. This looked like a good place to try. I really hope so. I dont wanna lose all those pics and vids of my kids. I got some first steps and stuff in there! Anyway...ill post again in the other threads the steps ive already taken. I really hope someone can help me. Nice to meet everyone :)
