Hi... my main computer locked up this AM, with an FBI Anti-piracy message stating that I had illegal downloads (wrong) on my computer. Google shows this to be a scam (they request $200 to "unlock" it). I was able to get Malwarebytes running on it, by double clicking on it's icon just before the screen locked (you can reboot through Cont..Alt.. Del).. waiting results. Any known, proven remedies for this virus?
