My laptop got hacked into. First everything shut down, Minecraft, Youtube, any websites I had up. Then it said my laptop was infected with the virus Trojan Horse. I went downstairs (leaving my laptop up) and told my father. Now since this had happend before, I wasnt as freaked out. When we went upstairs the laptop was recording my room. Thats when I got a little freaked out. My father asked what I had done. And I told him that I had done nothing. Because I didnt. My dad closed the laptop. And now I am warning yall about the dangers of the Internet. Be careful so your laptop doesnt get fawked. I may not be on for a while to let yall know.

And it came up and said that I had violated the law and that the goverment was going to do something to my laptop

Thats not that special, the goverment has been doing stuff to our PC since 9-11 :3

Let me clear up a few things. Trojan Virus is a virus that steals your data. It is very harmful and scary, if you have financial information, location, etc. Who knows they could be killers looking for another victim. It came up saying that had violated the law because [haha dont ask]. It said that the government was going to do something to my laptop. It said to pay them. Remembering from what I had read on Jacob's post, I knew not to pay. Finally I fixed it. It was fake. I got an antivirus protection thing and I have been scanning everyday. The virus had came from a 3 year old download I had. Today we had 2 threats but we have them removed now. Tomorrow I hope to have no threats. This is not a "not that bad" or " not a big deal" situation. It is a highly dangerous virus. I hope to be a little more active soon as everything is completely resolved.
