Police Central e-crime Unit virus
Police Central e-crime Unit fake warning is the next malware “present” that was specifically prepared by hackers for the purpose of chasing money from users primarily residing in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However, other countries are also being attacked with this ransomware nowadays. Thus, the severity of this problem caused us to devote this specific post on its successful removal. When this virus penetrates into infected systems it totally disables them. This means that users would not be able to do anything with their PCs. Rebooting the computer does not give any positive results. The outcome will be the same – the desktop remains in the blocked status. Instead of the common desktop theme users see the scary background that says the following:
Specialist Crime Directorate
Police Central e-crime Unit
Metropolitan Police
Attention!!! This operating system is locked due to the violation of the laws of the United Kingdom! Following violations were detected:
Your IP address is [removed]. This IP address was used to visit websites containing pornography, child pornography, zoophilia and child abuse. Your computer also contains video files with pornographic content, elements of violence and child pornography! Spam-messages with terrorist motives were also sent from your computer.
To unlock the computer you are obliged to pay a fine of £ 100.
You could pay the forfeit in two ways:
1) Paying through Ukash:
To do this, you should enter the 19 digits code in the payment form and press OK (if you have several codes, enter them one after the other and press OK).
If an error occurs, send the codes to address surcharge@cyber-metropolitan-police.co.uk.
2) Paying through Paysafecard:
To do this, you should enter the 16 digits resulting code (if necessary with a password) in the payment form and press OK (if you have several codes, enter them one after the other and press OK).
If an error occurs, send the codes to address surcharge@cyber-metropolitan-police.co.uk.
In spite of the fact that it is indeed quite scary to receive such a warning, be smart not to trust the contents of it. The information that you see is nothing but the method to prompt you into effecting payment in favor of crooks that developed this hoax. So, please do not effect any payment as ransom (forfeit) via Paysafecard or Ukash payment processing systems. By doing so you will simply waste your funds, whereas there is no gurantee that your system will no longer be unlocked after you indicate that special PIN code. Instead, why don’t you try our special method how to fix this problem with GridinSoft Trojan Killer? There is a way how to get rid of this ransomware hijacker, and you may find more information about it at this site – http://trojan-killer.net/police-central-e-crime-unit-pceu-ransomware-removal/
