FBI
virus is a sneaky malware, which mostly gets inside its target computer

or distributing pornographic content and spreading malware to other computers,
you must ignore such alert first of all and remove FBI virus immediately! This
program is distributed by scammers to swindle the money. Be aware that security
experts expect this group of ransomware to grow and improve.
