There are many forms of the FBI Virus and all of them share the same method of operation: you did something illegal and need to pay money.

It appears that this virus is becoming even more malicious in the fact that it is becoming more difficult to conduct any kind of activity on your computer. We have also been monitoring whether or not this virus is transmitting your computer files to another location.
The individuals who wrote this malicious virus have actually been editing the code to make it more troublesome. They have also been changing the style of the notice and adding more webcam features. It is not uncommon to have a webcam screenshot on the notice. Also, the Moneypak payment method is still being used as a way to pay the fake fine. Of course do not pay the fine the FBI warning shows.
