"It's the worst possible scenario that you could have," said Robert Dobbs with the Geek Squad.
Dobbs tells 10 Connects they have not had any local cases, but says there have been several cases nationally.
The Associated Press recently finished an investigation and found cases in which innocent people were branded as pedophiles because the virus attacked their computer. In the case of Michael Fiola, the AP says he was arrested and charged before he was finally exonerated. Fiola says he spent $250,000 to clear his name.
To best avoid getting the virus, Dobbs says follow these tips:
•Have an antivirus program that automatically scans your harddrive.
•Make sure you empty out your temporary internet files.
•Avoid file sharing websites.
