What is Microsoftxyber@hackindex.com Screen Locker?
Microsoftxyber@hackindex.com Screen Locker is a computer infection that looks a lot more dangerous than it actually is.

Where does Microsoftxyber@hackindex.com Screen Locker come from?
It is very likely that you allowed this screen locker to enter your system accidentally. If you often download programs from file-sharing websites, it wouldn’t be surprising if one of the files launched this threat. Also, it is very common that users get assaulted by pop-ups and redirects when they access potentially harmful or unreliable websites. If a page launches multiple pop-ups the moment you click something on it, you need to get out of there as soon as possible and never look back.
Thus, you should be able to avoid the likes of Microsoftxyber@hackindex.com Screen Locker if you were more careful about the programs you download and the pages you visit. Please refrain from downloading software from third-party sources. It is a lot safer to use official vendor websites. But even so, you should still read the installation wizard steps so you could avoid potentially unwanted programs and features that you might get offered.
What does Microsoftxyber@hackindex.com Screen Locker do?
As mentioned, Microsoftxyber@hackindex.com Screen Locker wants to pass for a ransomware program, and it also tries to convince the unsuspecting users that their Windows license has expired. However, here you have to realize that Microsoft would never lock your screen just because your license expires. There are other ways to notify you about it. So this kind of screen locking approach should be the first sign that you have been affected by a cybersecurity threat.
We are lucky that Microsoftxyber@hackindex.com Screen Locker doesn’t encrypt files. It might ask you to pay 200$ to unlock your computer, but there is no need to spend your money on this infection. You can simply close the process by pressing Alt+F4. There is also a code that can help you unlock your screen. Please find the code in the removal instructions at the bottom of this description.
Perhaps the most daunting thing about this infection is its appearance. It will change your desktop, and it will block you from accessing your programs. Then, on your screen, Microsoftxyber@hackindex.com Screen Locker will display a message that says you need to contact the Windows customer service to get a new license.
However, users who end up contacting this supposed “customer service” only expose themselves to further scams. Gullible users may end up losing a lot of money, thinking they are about to purchase the Windows license, while in fact, they give their money away for the cybercriminals. You should never be one of those users, so please remove Microsoftxyber@hackindex.com Screen Locker as soon as possible.
Is Microsoftxyber@hackindex.com Screen Locker the only scam that tries to lure out your money? Of course not. There are multiple fake alerts out there that try to trick users into giving away their money for the service that doesn’t exist. Please bear in mind that you can always double-check whether the service or some security issue is real before diving head-first into a scam. Do not hesitate to contact the software vendor or your computer shop, or even a friend who is well-versed in computers. Double-checking would save you the trouble of dealing with various security and financial issues later on.
