Pašvaldības Policija un Drošības Policija Virus

What is Pašvaldības Policija un Drošības Policija Virus?

Pašvaldības Policija un Drošības Policija Virus is a ransomware infection, targeting users in Latvia. It works in the same manner that all such infections do: pretends to be an actual law enforcement unit, accuses you of heinous crimes and asks for a “fine”. The cyber criminals behind this infection try to make you believe this is a real thing by displaying badges of such organizations as Copyright Alliance, Cyber Crime Investigations, Europol and Cyber Crime Unit. However, you should note that anyone with an Internet connection and mediocre Photoshop skills can smack a badge on a picture. Instead of falling for the scam, you should remove Pašvaldības Policija un Drošības Policija Virus. Please see the excerpt of the fake warning message:

UZMANĪBU! Jūsu dators ir bloķēts zemāk norādīto drošības apsvērumu dēļ.

Soda naudas apmērs sastāda LVL 50 latus.

Jūs varat nomaksāt soda naudu ar sertifikātiem PaySafeCard.

What does it do and how does it get in?

The „fine” they are demanding you to pay, 50 LVL in this instance, pales in comparison of the supposed fines you „would have” to pay should you fail to comply to their demands. The criminals state that those fines are up to LVL 250.000, but that is just to make you afraid of the consequences. To strengthen that, they add prison sentences up to 11 years in the mix. This can either make you agree to pay the initial fine or actually make you suspicious of it, and it should do the latter, as it is a scam.

When Pašvaldības Policija un Drošības Policija Virus is in, it does not do much – it simply locks your computer screen and displays the ransom message. But how did it gain the access in the first place? This infection often travels with the help of Trojan Urausy, spam e-mail attachments or infected websites. Other versions of the ransomware include Policajny Zbor virus, Dirección Nacional de Policía Técnica virus, GVU Trojaner and countless others. You should note that this is a very malignant family of ransomware infections, and you should delete Pašvaldības Policija un Drošības Policija Virus.
