Those banners are actually indicators that your computer has been attacked by criminals who are using screen-locking malware to blackmail you. Programs of this kind limit your abilities to use your own computer; they can block your screen and/or keyboard and limit access to your taskbar and shortcuts. They may threaten you in various ways, but they will all ask for ransom in order to restore your system to a normal state.
With the new Kaspersky Internet Security you can enjoy a new function that is called Protection against screen lockers. With the help of this feature, you’ll be able to block blackmailers with a simple keyboard shortcut.
To ensure that the function is activated or to set your own key combination, click the Settings link in the main program window. In the Protection Center component, choose System Watcher and make sure that in the Protection against screen lockers section, the Detect and close screen lockers check box is selected.
Here, in the dropdown list, you can select a combination of keys, which, when pressed, will enable protection against screen lockers to either detect and delete them
