How do they lock people out? Is it like the FBI file encryption virus?

I think there are several different ones. 1 apparently puts the computer in safe mode and auto opens a huge, full screen "chat help" dialog box. I think another one just changes your user password

I believe the FBI thing is a totally different entity.
The really bad one is the crypto wall. There is no fix for that shite - just nuke and reload. No way to unencrpypt your files.
