Alright. So, has anyone heard of a computer virus dubbed the FBI virus, also called the 'violation of federal law' virus? If yes, read at your leisure. If no, you should look it up. It apparently creeps into your computer, and suddenly forces an irremovable popup that says that the FBI has locked up your computer and you must pay via moneypak. That pretty much gave away that it wasn't a virus, and luckily my father is a computer nerd and took it out like Bruce Lee did to Chuck Norris.
Anywhoo, why I typed it up is I wanted to ask this: Does anyone know if this virus is dormant or acts as soon as it infects? I'm asking this because it happened the moment I downloaded something, yet I don't want to feel like I'm blaming said site for infecting my computer; it could've been coincidence!
