If your computer system is displaying an intrusive message that is preventing you from accessing your files, desktop, Start Menu, and Task Manager, your computer may have become infected with a ransomware program. These kinds of malware infections are usually not too sophisticated; also known as Winlockers, they prevent the victim from accessing their operating system and refuse to relinquish their hold on the victim's computer until a ransom is paid. The 'Attention! Votre ordinateur a ete pour violation' ransomware infection is one of the many kinds of ransomware threats that exist today. The 'Attention! Votre ordinateur a ete pour violation' ransomware in particular targets computer users with French IP addresses.

How the 'Attention! Votre ordinateur a ete pour violation' Ransomware Scam Works

Basically, the 'Attention! Votre ordinateur a ete pour violation' ransomware message claims to come from the Gendarmerie Nationale, that is, the French Police Force. This message claims that the victim's computer system was involved in illegal activities, including software and media piracy. The 'Attention! Votre ordinateur a ete pour violation' ransomware message goes on to demand a 200 Euro ransom, payable via Ukash or PaySafeCard (two common money transfer services similar to Western Union or PayPal). These kinds of fake police force messages often involve payment through the Ukash money transfer service, to the point where they are also known as the 'Ukash Virus.' Of course, it is important to understand that the 'Attention! Votre ordinateur a ete pour violation' ransomware message has absolutely nothing to do with law enforcement and is simply the result of a Trojan infection on the victim's computer system.
