Hello,I was uploading some screenshots this morning to Photobucket when all of a sudden a page pops up with an FBI Badge with a message saying my computer has been locked by FBI for Piracy and to unlock it I need to purchase a Moneypac Card for $200.Obviously my PC's been Hacked

 

This even though my virus protection was running,Not the way to start my Monday :mad:

It's got nothing to do with Photobucket, I have thousands of pictures uploaded with them, I even uploaded another just now to confirm that they weren't having problems. It's more likely you have a virus or other malware infection from another source, such as one of those crappy toolbars in your browser or some such useless app, it certainly wont be from Photobucket though.

I had the same thing last week, with a different name (Metropolitan Police). A search came up with a few fixes, although Microsoft was better. Replacing explorer.exe was one solution, possibly. I believe it was Malwarebyte that fixed it, downloaded via safe mode with networking, and running a full scan (and I mean full!).

Thank You for the info,Andy it just seems funny that at the exact time I was uploading photos that this is when I was Hacked.

I don't think there is any reason to assume that the message appeared at the time your computer was infected. Sometimes these things show up hours or days afterwards.

Yes! Malwarebytes is a must-have!
