IT Expert Michael Sicard is First in Phoenix to ID Computer Virus that Imitates FBI

DataFast has serviced over 3000 computers in 5 states and has over 60 years collective experience in successfully repairing computers attacked by viruses.

Phoenix, AZ (prHWY.com) November 18, 2012 - The cost of ID theft will rise above $250 Billion dollars by the end of this year. Thieves are constantly coming up with new and inventive viruses. Keeping up with the new attacks is a full time job and Michael Sicard has been focused on just that. He is the first in the Phoenix area to identify a new virus that pretends to be the FBI. This virus locks up your computers, accuses you of having child pornography and demands payment with Green Dot Money Pak cards to release your computer. "Then the virus attempts to hijack your computer and steals your information and all your money out of you accounts." Says Sicard, "It's been dubbed the FBI Money-Pak virus." Many people have lost a lot money thinking they are actually dealing with the FBI. Others, who realize it is a virus, have caused data loss and even the inability of the computer to run, by attempting to clean the computer without professional help.

DataFast has serviced over 3000 computers in 5 states and has over 60 years collective experience in successfully repairing computers attacked by viruses. Michael Sicard gives these tips to help any business deal with a computer compromised by a virus:

* Visit http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2012/august/new-internet-scam to get a full understanding of what this virus does when it's in your computer.

* Keep your anti-virus software updated and enabled. It's an expense that will save you time and money.

* If you think your computer is infected, disconnect from your Internet to avoid infecting other computers on the network.

* Get the computer professionally cleaned so that you do not lose data. Data loss costs as much or more than money loss from viruses. DataFast specialized in these types of cases. They have two locations to serve you.

* Become more conservative about the emails and websites you choose to open. If the FBI thinks you are dealing with child pornography, they will show up at your door, not send you an email or take over your computer.
