Hi everyone,

New to this site/forum. I've got a couple of issues I can't get a handle on, which is why I joined up here.

1. The "FBI ransomware" has popped up from time to time over the last 6 months or so, but only when I use chrome in incognito mode making it more of an annoyance than a real problem in everyday use. I don't know if this is related to the most recent issue, which is:

2. Within the last three days "NexTeCoup" has started messing with chrome. My efforts to be rid of it have failed, so I'm going to be starting a thread to try and get rid of that.

I do have some very basic (no pun intended) programming knowledge from years ago (BASIC and C+ back in high school and college respectively). These days I'm just a user mostly, with some limited exposure to matlab within the last few years.

I really want to get my machine clean because I just started messing around with more programming and having a clean machine to do that on seems like the best way to go about it.
 
Welcome to MT! :)

If it appears in the browser, then it's just browlock, it's not malicious. Just close the window and you're safe. :)

Thank you guys very much! This place is pretty amazing. I'm already very thankful that this place exists.

That's great to hear that the FBI ransomware thing isn't a big deal. Since I started experiencing these other issues a few days ago I have been kicking myself for not trying harder to figure it out.

I just posted over in the malware removal assistance area, but thank you!
