Gobierno de España Virus is a malicious ransomware infection which can affect operating Windows systems which are unguarded by authentic Windows security tools. The clandestine ransomware is a malicious Trojan in disguise, and this threat could have been dropped onto your personal computer days before the disturbing attack. As soon as schemers drop the infection using drive-by download or social engineering scams, the malicious files can be used to download malware, remove access to the Task Manager, modify the Windows Registry, discover where you live and corrupt your Windows desktop with an appropriate alert. If you live in Spain, the notification paralyzing your computer will indicate that Europol, Gobierno de España and Ministerio del Interior have locked your personal computer for legal purposes. This is not the truth and we urge you to delete Gobierno de España Virus as soon as possible. Read more »
