There's malware that falsely accuses people of pornography, bestiality and child abuse.

It may be an old school-style virus with 1990s and late 1980s-like MBR infection.

"Another case of Windows lockers involved a blackmailer that infected the master boot record. It spread in large numbers all over the Internet and was added to the virus database as Trojan.MBRlock.15. This Trojan horse also displayed a message in English, demanding that users pay 20 euros over one of the most widespread payment systems in Europe in order to unlock their systems."
