Once installed on your computer, the White Screen MoneyPak virus should display a bogus notification that pretends to be from a law enforcement agency (FBI, Australian Federal Police, CIA or your local police force), and states that your computer has been blocked due to it being involved with the distribution of pornographic material, SPAM and copyrighted content. The White Screen virus is also prevalent on peer-to-peer file sharing websites and is often packaged with pirated or illegally acquired software.

The threat may also be downloaded manually by tricking the user into thinking they are installing a useful piece of software. Another method used to propagate this type of malware is spam email containing infected attachments or links to malicious websites.

This drive-by-download often happens surreptitiously. Malicious websites, or legitimate websites that have been compromised, may drop this trojan onto a compromised computer. The White Screen virus is distributed through several means. However in some cases, this trojan is unable to detect the IP address or location, so you’ll get a white screen after login. The White Screen virus locks the computer and, depending on the user’s current location, displays a localized webpage that covers the entire desktop of the infected computer and demands payment for the supposed possession of illicit material. If your computer is locked, and you are seeing a White Screen whenever you are trying to login into your Windows machine, then your computer is infected with a piece of malware known as Trojan Reveton.
