Am I infected? FBI Moneypak

[BulldozerUserInNeed]

So, I was browsing a freeware site, and went to click on a link. Unfortunately, though, my browser automatically refreshed, starting me back at the top of the page, and I ended up clicking on what must have been an ad. Luckily I've heard about the FBI Moneypak scam, so when I was directed to the page I didn't click anything, ctrl+alt+Deleted, and killed the browser process. The window closed, and everything seems fine, but I'm terrified of powering-down my computer. I ran a quick MSSE scan, and everything turned up fine, and started doing a full one, but since I have several large harddrives, it could take days. And I "need" to reboot because a game of mine isn't working properly (it's done this before), and usually restarting fixes the issue.

So, the question is: am I infected? Or did I dodge a bullet by not clicking anything. Nothing installed to my knowledge, and I'm running Google Chrome.

(I'd prefer to have confirmation from someone who's also ended up on the site, but help from anyone would be appreciated.)

P.S. Sorry if this isn't the place for this question, but I saw "Security" in the description of the board and figured it was worth a shot.

when moneypak infects your pc it will basically lock you out with only their webpage open. happens within maybe thirty seconds of boot up.

i suggest you to load avast free and unplug all your other hdd except the os one and put avast to made a full scan when system start dont forget to disable mse before the scan or the could could conflict . http://www.avast.com/en-ca/index

Unplugging all non os drives before scan is a very good suggestion.

Download malware bytes and update it and scan with that to see if you have any infections.
If it gives you trouble downloading or upgrading you will need to download it from another computer, you can also download the most recent definitions file as well.

Hmm, good advice. Like I said, though, I still haven't turned off my computer since I ended up on the site. Don't think I should remove with HDDs while my computer is on. Anyways, I ran Bitdefender's FBI moneypak removal tool, and it didn't detect anything. Will nothing be able to find it unless I reboot and the virus runs its course? Will my situation become worse from rebooting? There's a chance it didn't download since I killed the process so quickly. I just have no way to back-up all of my data and don't want to lose it.

you could try the online scanner http://www.bitdefender.com/scanner/online/free.html

You might have dodged the bullet on the FBI moneypack

No one suggests you unplug the drives while booted. Shutdown computer, unplug drives, reboot, then scan.

While you might have not gotten the moneypack ransomeware it would still be a good measure to scan with malwarebytes after everything is rebooted.

Lucky me! I had a restore point from two days ago. Went ahead with the restore, booted with no problems, and my browser isn't redirecting and everything is working normally. Now that I can run my game again, I'll run a full Malwarebytes scan just to be safe. Sound good?

(And Scout, I did that before doing the restore and it didn't turn anything up either)

check your browser and see if there is any uwanted search device or page link you could remove .

Hmm, like, check the extensions? Nothing new there if that's what you mean

then if everything is normal your browser is clean just keep a eye on the sytem .
