Is your system infected with a serious ransomware program that dared to name itself as Metropolitan Police warning? Well, you’re not alone. There are many users primarily from the European Union whose PCs got contaminated with this serious cyber disease. But the point is that this virus has nothing to do with well-known UK’s police and its other law enforcement bodies. Neither it has to do with the Police Central E-crimes Unit of Specialist Crime Directorate. This is just the way hackers prepared themselves to reap earnings with extremely unfair methods. They developed a special Trojan horse that infects computers and locks them completely. Afterwards the system turns out to be totally inoperable. The locked status remains after numerous reboots, and user cannot do any business on the infected workstation. There are various sites that tell how to deal with ransomware infections. Some of them are effective whereas some are not. The point is that this virus (also referred to by some as Met Police ransomware) has several versions, and sometimes the removal instructions fit for one version of it and cannot be applied towards other versions. What is the remedy if your PC has been locked with Metropolitan Police system hijacker?

Illegal activity was revealed!’ Ransomware stands for certain malware program which snatches your PC, hijacks it in a way that you can hardly do anything with it and then scares you with the message of you being supposedly noticed to download, watch and spread certain illegal content. It then says that this supposed illegal behavior on your part is the cause of such blockage. Afterwards the malware offers you to pay certain amount of money to have this problem fixed, promising you not to report any of such sinful actions on your part if only you donate certain amount of money via Ukash service.

It does not spread this virus nor does it support such fraudulent activities of the cyber crooks and criminals who elaborated this indeed scary program.
