A fake WiFi hacking program is being used to distribute a new Coronavirus-themed malware that tries to lock you out of Windows while making some very annoying sounds.

Screenlockers are malware programs that display a lock screen when logging into Windows so that you cannot access the Windows desktop or interact with your installed programs and files.

This new screenlocker is called 'CoronaLocker' and was discovered by security researcher Max Kersten last week after a friend became infected by a program named 'wifihacker.exe'.

When installed, the malware will extract numerous VBS files and a batch file that, when used together, create an annoying screenlocker functionality.
