What is Policajny Zbor virus?

Policajny Zbor virus is a ransomware infection that wants to scam you. It locks your computer screen and displays a ransom message, accusing you of various crimes and presenting dire consequences. On the said message, you will also see badges of Cyber Crime Unit, Europol and Internet Police Department, but they are just being used to make you believe this is a legitimate law enforcement effort.

It is, however, absolutely not and you should go ahead and remove Policajny Zbor virus. Paying their ransom would not help you delete the infection from your computer and would only support the criminals to make malicious infection further on. They have already produced various version of this very infection: PRISM Virus, Nacionalni Preiskovalni Urad Virus, Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection Virus CCIP and many others. test
