What is Microsoft Windows Ukash Virus?

Microsoft Windows Ukash Virus is an infection from a huge ransomware family. Ukash Virus has many versions, each and every single one of them target users in different parts of the world. Based on the user's IP, Ukash Virus changes into a localized version, or changed the interface language. Microsoft Windows Ukash Virus is encoded to display false messages in various languages. It can show messages in English, German, French, Portuguese and so on.

Unlike FBI Moneypak or Bundespolizei National Cyber Crimes Unit, Microsoft Windows Ukash Virus does not display a message that says the user has committed some criminal acts. On the contrary - it says that the Windows system itself is blocking the computer for unknown illegal activities, and if the user wants to unblock his computer, Microsoft Windows Ukash Virus orders him to pay 100 Euro fine within 10 hours. Otherwise the computer will be blocked for good and the user's "crimes" reported to the authorities. test

Naturally, these messages displayed by Microsoft Windows Ukash Virus are absolutely fake and if the user pays the fine, he will merely lose his money.
