    Does anyone else have like a mini-heart attack when these lock you out?

    I had one of these just an hour ago, but holy shit, my hands started shaking. I was able to get out of it but still. Pretty terrifying. And, my computer has had this virus before but it still startled me.

    But, on the plus side, I did find a good way to get out of the virus.

    Never had one. But really, the FBI wouldn't mess around with your computer if you were guilty of a crime. They'd just knock on your door one day and arrest you.

    I am surprised that there ain't a load of NSA fake lock outs around considering the news.

    They are kinda clever, they can figure out your location, in the US its FBI, the UK you get SOCA or the Met Police, even in Ireland you can get the GardaĆ­ all having fake lock out screens

    I've never experienced these particular lock-outs before, but I've seen similar ones.
