What is Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü virus?

Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü virus is a computer infection that is classified as ransomware. It comes from a huge group of similar infections and targets users in Turkey, claiming that their computers have been locked by the Turkish National Police. It may seem as though Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü virus's claims are real, considering that the notification that blocks you from accessing your desktop has the Turkish flag and the Turkish police insignia, but you cannot believe a single word this program says. The notification is fake and you have not committed a single crime indicated on the list. You need to remove Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü virus from your computer otherwise the application will continue terrorizing you, in attempt to steal your money.

Where does Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü virus come from?

Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü virus belongs to Ukash Virus group of ransomware programs. There are hundreds of ransomware infections from this group, each delivered by a different bot or a Trojan, targeting users in multiple countries. Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü virus itself belongs to the Urausy Trojan subgroup, and it shares the layout of its interface with such malicious programs as EC3 Europol Virus, POLITIE Belgique Police Fédérale Virus, Malta Police Association Virus and others. Just like all of the other versions of this infection Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü virus presents users with a fake security notification in Turkish, saying that you have breached several national laws:

DIKKAT! Sizin PC’niz aşağida belirtilen sebeplerden en az biri ile bloke edilmiştir.

Siz yasakli Pornografik içeriği seyretmiş veya dağitmiş (Çoçuk Pornosu/Zoofili vb). Bu, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Ceza Kanununun 202. Maddesinin ihlalidir.

Para cezalari yalniz ihlaldan 72 saat içinde ödenebilir. 72 saat geçtiğginde para cezasi ödeme imkani sona eriyor ve size karşi ceza davasi yakin 72 saat içinde otomatik olarak başlatiliyor!

Para cezasi miktari TRY 200 (YTL) veya EUR €100.

Öde Ukash veya PaySafeCard.

The infection expects you to pay a fee via Ukash or Paysafecard. These alternative payments systems have nothing to do with Ukash viruses - cyber criminals simply use these systems, because they allow transferring money even if you do not have a credit card or a bank account. Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü virus claims that you need to pay the fee within 72 hours if you want to unlock your computer. However, the infection will not restore your desktop access no matter how many times you transfer the fee, because the only thing it wants is your money.
