FBI Online Agent virus is a rasomware program that tries to deceive computer users located mainly in the US. The virus enters random computers using Trojan viruses that sneak in over system vulnerabilities. Once inside FBI Online Agent virus blocks your system displaying one message. It imitates the warning from FBI accusing you on using some copyrighted content which is illegal by law. For this reason you are told to pay a fine of $200.
