    Default Help with poss ransomware

    Last night a dialogue box or chat box appeared on my laptop and someone started IM with me. Says he's been watching me and wants money. I've run anti virus and a rootkit but don't know what to do. Can anyone help? I don't know how to attach the rootkit report because I am using my smartphone. Thank you

    Hello MickD,

    When you are on your laptop please start a topic in the Malware Removal Forum so one of our volunteer analysts can take a look at the system.

    First see that forum's FAQ which includes instructions in post #2 on how to provide the logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and aswMBR, which are the logs used in the preliminary analysis.

    I will try to figure that out. All I have is my phone so it's hard to do anything
