AFP Virus / Malware - Your browser has been locked

Hi
I'm still reasonably new to Macs and have a Virus / Malware I think.
It says AFP (Australian Federal Police) have locked your browser, etc
google says its bogus.
How do I remove it?
I can't shut down that TAB/Safari window.
Please Help

Hi,
I guess it's from a Torrent then, but lesson learnt now.
So if no Virus, then it's Malware??
I'm running ClamXav right now to check - will that help or remove it?
I'll start reading those pages now and I've added that Ad Block, thank you very much for the help.
EDIT: I just did this, from another thread here that RE: FBI Malware
To prevent the loop from running and exiting the page
Disable Javascript.
Hit back in Safari.
Enable Javascript.
Reset History and Top Sites as a precaution.
This resolved the problem, but I'm staying clear of torrents forever!!!
Freaky stuff

Hi Guilhermeters,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you cannot log into the iTunes Store using your Apple ID, first try resetting your password as mentioned in this article:

Your apple id has been locked

Hi,
this morning i tried to install de new versions of the apps (instagram, facebook messenger...) and my iphone and ipod sent me the message on the screen: "You cannot login because your account has been locked", i tried to reset my password twice and still don't working.
Help me please! thanks

Were you able to reset your password ? If you were then have you tried logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logged back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it ?
If that hasn't fixed it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Hi ridoysajjad,
Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
Once the account is locked, wait for 15 minutes then try re-login (this allows the lock timer to be reset).
If still not able to login with existing password, you must go for the password reset option on http://account.nokia.com main page and select Forgot your password?
Try either mobile number option or email (which you used in Nokia account registation)
For mobile number, an over-the-air (OTA) password reset link will be sent to the mobile.
For email, a link will be sent for password reset.
Please note that you have to wait up to 4 hours to get the reset link as there can be network congestion.
Once you get the reset link, create a new password and then try to login with the password.
The login should work with the new password.
Note: You might still have to wait for 15 minutes before you can try to login even with the new password. Nokia doesn't have any tools to unlock the user's account due to privacy issues and a new account should be created if the customer is unable to reset the password by him/herself.

Good morning! I used my account more than 3 years.And i have lots of apps and musics on my account I'm of your company I have iPhone iPad and iPod. And today, i can't sign in to my account. When i sign in to my account, I have message: "you can not login because your account has been locked" Why i can't connect my account? I have just back to my home durning the vacation. And my friend used my computer.My apple ID:**************@gmail.com
please help me as soon as you can thank you so much

For info we are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iOS device by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support and see if they can/will unlock it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

(Or something like that) and I choose 'yes',and after that my decice is restarted then I can't open my world,my account,and I can't download anything in blackberry app world because of that message
Thankyou before

same thing with me also, anybody knows what causes of it, how to solve this problem

Every morning when I awaken my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later.

Every morning when I "awaken" my MacBook Pro, I come to find that my Safari browser has been closed on it's own. How to fix this? I don't want to lose anything I have possibly typed in a site that I have left to finish working on for later. I checked system preferences and everything seems to be checked appropriately as well as for Safari's preferences.
I am not sure what's going on, because Safari only just recently started doing this and I haven't downloaded anything, nothing out of my regular computer routine. As well, I upgraded to Mavericks when it came out and I have the last version of it too. I can't imagine that Safari would close simply because I don't have or want to upgrade to Yosemite. I am holding off on the upgrade for a bit, because I heard Final Cut Pro 7 can't be run on Yosemite. While I could partition my drive, I really don't want to. Mavericks is fine for right now : )
Okay sooooo...back to Safari...what the! Please help and thanks for any replies ahead of time!
I Hope All Is Well In Your World : )

There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
Network section.
In Network - click on Advanced - then the DNS tab
under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
either these, from google dns
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
or from OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then click OK & then 'Apply'
You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)

My usual Apple ID/iCloud account has been locked out. I tried the email link - didn't receive an email. So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc.. How do I get the Apple ID I want to use working again? Help.

Hi JkeeneSoldano,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To regain access to your Apple ID, try to reset your password using one of these methods:
Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
From:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If you need to use the email verification method but don't receive the reset email, see this link for more help:
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy
