This is real it just happened to me and it took me ages to get rid of it. A few days ago I went to start my computer up and got a red screen stating I had been on some illegale sites and my computer files were frozen unless I paid them a large sum of money to them. It took me the best part of two days and a lot of emails with Spyhunter we managed to clear it up and they have now updated their software now to cope with this threat. This is warning users about the CryptoLocker ransomware. Once this malware has infected your computer it encrypts your files and demands a ransom for the files to be decrypted. Often the message demanding the ransom states the user has visited an illegal site or done something wrong. We are recommending our users be careful about the sites they visit as well as ensure they are using a quality security program.
