By JubileeX in Ransomware

The 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware infection is part of the Urausy family of malware. These types of infections are used to carry out a well known scam which preys in inexperienced computer users. There are countless variants of the 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware infection, each targeting a specific country or geographical location; in this case, the 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware Trojan is designed to infect computer systems located in Hungary. Despite the many variants of this scam, each variant carries out the same basic attack, taking a computer hostage and then demanding a ransom in order to restore access to the infected computer. ESG malware analysts consider that 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware is a severe infection that should be dealt with immediately with the help of a strong anti-malware program.

The 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware Fake Message Prevents Access to the PC

The main component of the 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware scam is a Winlocker which blocks all access to the infected computer. The 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware then displays a fake message from the Hungarian police force, claiming that the infected computer was blocked because the victim visited illegal pornographic websites and distributed malware. This message is meant to be quite threatening and implies that the victim will be sent to jail for at least fifteen years as well as claiming that enormous fines will need to be paid. However, the 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware then offers the victim the option of paying a one-time police fine to avoid these punishments. Since the 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware is not actually related to the Hungarian police, ESG malware researchers strongly urge against paying this bogus 'fine.'

Removing a 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware Infection

Rather than following the 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware message's instructions, ESG malware analysts strongly counsel computer users to remove this threat immediately from their computer. However, due to the fact that the 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware as well as its many variants that include 'Služba Kriminální Policie a Vyšet?ování' Ransomware, the 'Arma dei Carabinieri' Ransomware and the 'Comandancia General de Policía' Ransomware blocks the infected computer, it is first necessary to bypass its Winlocker component in order to access your security software. This can be done by starting up the infected computer in Safe Mode or from an external memory device. Once this has been accomplished, a reliable anti-malware program that has been fully updated should be able to remove the 'Nemzeti Védelmi Szolgálat' Ransomware infection completely from the affected computer.
