My son just ran into my room.  
He’s in a panic!  
MOM MOM WAKE UP IT’S IMPORTANT!!!  
He just got the ICE CYBER CRIME virus.

He thought he was in trouble, I knew it was a GD scam.  
Especially when they so thoughtfully list all the places where you can get a money gram.  
For $450 they will unlock your computer.  
Sons of bitches all of them that send out that shit.

Now we have to figure out how to get rid of the damned thing.

He won’t listen to me when I tell him what to do.

most Malware scanners will remove it, you just need to follow these instructions. [http://www.removevirus.org/ice-cyber-crimes-center-virus](http://www.removevirus.org/ice-cyber-crimes-center-virus)

Another easy to find touch is when the US FBI cyber crimes division uses a UK type accented voice to tell you you need to pay up.

Question is what sites was he on that gave it to him? 🙂

He’s usually pretty careful, I’m not sure he knows where he got it.  
He seems to have gotten rid of it.

Scared the hell out of him.
