Have you ever had your computer blocked by the F.B.I for violation of copy rights/illegal downloading?, Well to be honest yes I have gotten my computer blocked by the F.B.I before for illegal downloading of music. How the F.B.I blocked my computer? ,well I don't know exactly how they do it but if your computer get's blocked by them, every time you turn it on the computer, the screen will go white and then a message will come up on the screen saying what copy right laws you violated and you need to pay a certain amount of money to unlock your computer by a certain date. Now those copy right law fines are really expensive and to those this has happen to, here is a way to avoid paying them, put your computer on the boot menu and do either a system restore or system recovery and restore it to "out of the box" or to "first time use" state. 

So has anyone else had there computer blocked by the F.B.I. for copy right violations/ illegal downloading?

I can't say that I have. I am guilty of illegally downloading some stuff, but I have never been caught.

That actually isn't the real FBI. Those are hackers, I think, who want money. The FBI would actually come to your house. I'm not sure if I'm right, but usually, it's just a virus type thing.

goodboy : I thought it might have been hackers at first, but it just looked to official and clean cut to be done by hackers, but in the message it had the seal of the state, the articles that I violated, my actual IP address, the city & town where I live and state zip code , and it said I had to pay some type of money order/purchase some prepaid card to unblock my computer and it shut down even the safe mode so I literally had no access to my computer , but I could access the boot menu .

Divine Aurora : DA ok yes goodboy is right it is hackers I had the same thing happen to this laptop im using right now. it will turn on your webcam if you have one, it will look like a FBI site but its not, it will show your location and ip, and it will want you to pay thru paypal.

it is a virus DA you have to go to a computer store and they will fix it. they fixed mine for $70.

the FBI will come to your house if you did anything wrong and they will not make you pay thru paypal.

its called scamware and the FBI virus is the most common one nowadays.

No, I have not ever been blocked by the FBI because I don't pirate anything or even do anything to get looked at by the FBI. I don't know who would get blocked, but they must be doing some pretty bad stuff

hunter31626 : I did a entire system restore and wiped the whole computer clean to "out of the box new" state, like it was being used for the first time :p , I didn't pay any thing..and that is by far the most realistic scamware I have ever seen it's looks really official.

TreasurePlanet23: Have you ever download music for free?, have you ever watched a new released movie online for free ?

TreasurePlanet23 : Apparently it was a scam to get money by hackers, and do you download stuff like ROMS(games),movies, apps and music offline for free, music,games and apps and movies that you know would cost money normally, if so that's pirating.

I didn't get caught for music but about 4 days ago I got an email from my Internet provider informing me that Paramount Pictures was upset with me because I had been viewing movies that were not paid for. My Internet provider instructed me to stop the transfer of any unpaid for movies immediately. I had one movie that I was seeding so I removed it immediately. I sincerely hope that is was just a scare tactic and there is nothing horrible coming my way.

There are several lessons to be learned from this but the most important one is to take your lazy but down to the video rental place and rent the movie. OR go see it in the theater.

I'm sure there will be people here that say "nhuuh, mwhy donn't nyou jusht git Netflix?" Answer: "I have too many bills as it is."

Nope, I never had anything on my Computer blocked, not even the machine it's self.


it will still never happen, because I watch stuff on youtube, like music and what not and that's fine.

Divine Aurora : No, I don't do any of those things. I consider pirating to be illegal, so I stay away from doing it. Yes, but all those things you listed are all forms of pirating.

Nope, I always avoid this stuff...not a lot to say. I only watch YouTube for videos, I only listen to music on my CD player, so nothing illegal or pirated.

Yes infact for all the wrong reasons. I was stuck Ocarina of Time and search up for a walkthrough. I put the following into google "How to get to the great fairy on death mountain". Google blocked the page because I was apparently looking up illegal content. I was blocked from the internet for a week. I am still confused why this was even classed as suspicious... 
I found I had wasted my time since after the incident I found my way into the fountain!

LOL, I'm glad someone pointed out that this was a virus or hacker program.  The minute I started reading your post, I was about to set everyone straight on this matter.  The funny thing is, I've never had it happen to me.

Why?  Because I make sure everything I do is legal.    If I can't pay for it or legally watch it for free, my life isn't going to end.

Divine Aurora :

Yeah, see. It is a hacker, according to hunter and me. It happened to my aunt's COMPLETELY new, fresh out of the box laptop.

The FBI would come to your house and personally arrest you. They're high ranking cops, per se. They won't try to fine you through a computer.

You can fix it by asking a computer shop, or your way.

goodboy : The only thing about my way was everything got deleted, every program,picture, document,music  and games even Microsoft office lol but on the up side my computer came with Norton security pre installed so when I restored it I got that free again for 12 months ^^ 

Singelli : Out of curiosity, at the school where you work, do you and other teachers & the school have permission to print out those worksheets from the copy right owners?

The FBI Money Pack virus happened to me about a month ago and it's a virus totally.  I must have gotten it from clicking news stories off of Yahoo's home page.  If this happens to anyone, press F8 when rebooting your computer to get into safe mode.  Click "Repair computer"  and just bring it back to an earlier restore point before you got the virus.  Once I was able to use my computer again I created a new user so that if any of the virus was still in my old account files, it wouldn't affect me now.  I wish I could find my system restore discs to just do an overhaul of my entire system like you did, Divine Aurora.  But this works for me for now and I'm glad I didn't spend money to have it fixed...you can get a brand new laptop for less than $300 nowadays
