What is Polizia Di Stato Virus?
Polizia Di Stato Virus is a ransomware infection popular in Italy, and targeted at unsuspecting computer users. The mission of the virus is to deceive the user and make him/her pay money for unlocking the computer, which is frozen as soon as the infection gets into the system. In order to obtain one’s money, a misleading pop-up message saying that the computer is locked down because of illegal activities carried out by the user, is displayed.
In order to convince the user that the issue is real and that it is necessary to pay a ransom, the message contains credentials of Polizia di Stato (Italian National Police), which in reality does not have anything to do with the message and the virus. The accusations are related to storing and distributing child pornography, which, according to the message, leads to the lock down of the PC.
Nel tuo computer sono stati trovati video-file contenti la pornografia, elementi di violenza e la pornografia minorile.
Ignore the accusations as well as the fine of 100 EUR which is expected to be paid either through Ukash or Paysafecard. Once you pay the ransom money, nothing changes and the problem remains. To solve it, remove Polizia Di Stato Virus as soon as you can so that the computer can operate normally. Once you remove the virus, you will be able to access the Internet, because the computer will start running normally.
The message displayed is simulated; the accusations are given to scare into believing that you are under suspicion, and other additional information such as an IP address and logos of famous brands is used to be as convincing as possible. We assure you that the name of Polizia di Stato has been used to deceive, so all that you have to do to get rid of the message displayed is to remove Polizia Di Stato Virus.
