Yep, said so right on my computer screen.
I was supposed to pay a $200 fine to get my computer back.
(and damned if I wasn't using my work computer).
And NO! I wasn't looking at "bad" stuff when I got this virus.
Honestly, I was googling info about the Twilight Zone episode that starred Robert Redford. ( We were watching netflicks tonight).
Man. I busted my tail on my home laptop and finally got it fixed. (couple of hours wasted). It took suggestions from two different sites. Seems I had a newer variant or something .. I don't know.
I had to edit the registry to not use Explorer at start up, download MalwareBytes and run it. Man I love that program.
I can't believe my work has less effective antivirus than my home laptop. It's ridiculous.
Whew. My butt was going to be in a sling because this would have been the 3rd time something went wrong with my computer (one wasn't my fault at all).
Anyway.
REJOICE WITH ME
