The user infected with Police Rendőrség Virus is accused of copyright infringement, child porn distribution and other illegal cyber activity. Aside from these accusations, Police Rendőrség Virus also does not allow the user to access his desktop - no matter how many times you would restart your computer the Police Rendőrség Virus does not disappear. It asks you to pay the fine if you want to avoid prosecution.
