How to remove FBI Ransomware infection

The FBI Ukash MonkeyPak Ransomware is a malware that locks you out of your computer and your applications until you pay a “ransom” of $100/$200 via MoneyPak/Ukash/PaySafeCard.

This infection is typically installed onto a computer when the user visits an infected website that contains malicious scripts which could exploit vulnerabilities from the browser or the installed plug-ins.

Once installed, the FBI Ransomware will be configured to start automatically when you login to Windows.
