What is Trojan.Tobfy?

Trojan.Tobfy is a dangerous Trojan horse which distributes ransomware scams in order to persuade computer users to pay money so that they can unlock their computers. You may already know that ransomware infections alter the system with the result that the user cannot access the desktop and use the PC as usual. Moreover, the threat displays a full-screen warning which contains the credential of various institutions such as police of a country in which the infection is spread. Very often, in addition to the institution presented, the user can find an emblem of some international institution or organization which is well-known worldwide. One of such institutions is FBI whose logo is widely used among cyber criminals. Moreover, the warnings presented by Trojan.Tobfy can be written in different languages, including Italian, German, French and other European languages.

The false allegations are said to be withdrawn once the user pays a fine.

The sum of money and the money transaction service depend on the currency and the country respectively. However, the most common currency is U.S dollars and Euros.
