PornoAsset is not the kind of malware infection that infiltrates your system silently and stays hidden for long. As a matter of fact, this Trojan screen locker makes sure that you cannot overlook its presence. Once it enters your computer, it locks your screen with a red and white warning message that fills your screen. This Trojan only appears to target Russian machines, which is confirmed by the warning text as it is in Russian language. If you want to use your computer again, i.e., unlock it, you have to pay a certain fee to the criminals behind this attack. They even threaten you to do so within a set time limit; otherwise, you will be prosecuted. The base of this alleged prosecution is a rather sensitive topic: child pornography. Although the “penalty” is rather low, we do not recommend that you pay these criminals. But, of course, it is all up to you how you decide. However, you should also consider that our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have found a solution for you to remove PornoAsset. If you are interested to learn more about this infection and how you can actually avoid it, please read on. Read more »
