Homeland Security Virus

What is Homeland Security Virus?

If you live in the U.S. and do not have a reliable spyware removal tool, your computer can easily get infected with Homeland Security Virus, which is categorized as ransomware due to its intentions to make you pay money. The virus is spread by the well-known Trojan Urausy which has a lot of different variants which are spread around the world. If you do not want to lose your money, you should remove Homeland Security Virus along with the Trojan so that you can use the PC properly.

Why should I remove U.S. Department of Homeland Security Virus?

Homeland Security Virus is just like Royal Canadian Mounted Police Virus or any other one distributed by the Trojan Urausy. The Trojan locks the system down and covers the screen with a warning saying that you have violated some articles of law. The charges are supposedly presented by Homeland Security: National Cyber Security Division, which in real life does not implement the lock-downs of computers in order to impose a fine on the suspects. Below you will find how the warning begins:

In order to unlock the computer, you are supposed to pay 300 American dollars via MoneyPak within 48 hours. If you find the requirement intimidating, do not worry because the only thing that you have to do in order to unlock the PC is install a legitimate and powerful spyware removal tool.
