The ‘Sur votre ordinateur est infecté’ French Ransomware infection is the French version of the so-called ‘Microsoft Windows’ variant of the Ukash Virus. This is part of a very large family of ransomware that uses the Ukash money transfer service to demand payment from the victims. The variants of the Microsoft Windows Ukash use a large message that appears to be an official Windows notification. Like most ransomware infections, the ‘Sur votre ordinateur est infecté’ French Ransomware prevents access to the compromised computer and demands payment in order to unlock the infected computer.

The ‘Sur votre ordinateur est infecté’ French Ransomware Notification

The ‘Sur votre ordinateur est infecté’ French Ransomware infection demands a one hundred Euro ransom and claims that the victim’s computer is infected with the Winlocker Trojan (which is actually true in this case)! Then, ‘Sur votre ordinateur est infecté’ French Ransomware threatens to delete all the files on the infected computer within ten hours if the victim does not pay the ransom. ESG malware analysts note that the ‘Sur votre ordinateur est infecté’ French Ransomware does not have the ability to delete your files and that these are nothing more than empty threats. Like most Ukash Winlocker variants, the ‘Sur votre ordinateur est infecté’ French Ransomware corresponds to computers with French IP addresses, targeting computers in this country. Variants of this infection targeting other countries display messages in the language of the targeted country. All of these messages use the Windows logo and a background and color scheme that make it appear as an official Windows message.

Removing the ‘Sur votre ordinateur est infecté’ French Ransomware Infection

While most updated security programs can deal with the ‘Sur votre ordinateur est infecté’ French Ransomware Trojan, the main problem is bypassing its annoying message and gaining access to your security software.
