The 'National Security Agency' Ransomware infection is a Police Ransomware Trojan that displays a fake message from the NSA in order to fool inexperienced computer users into believing that they need to pay a fake police fine. The 'National Security Agency' Ransomware Trojan is nearly identical to the countless variants of the Police Ransomware scam that exist today. The 'National Security Agency' Ransomware Trojan has absolutely no connection with the NSA or with any kind of law enforcement of a government agency. It is important to understand that the 'National Security Agency' Ransomware infection is part of a well known scam and should be removed immediately from the affected computers with the help of a reliable, fully updated anti-malware application.
How the 'National Security Agency' Ransomware Takes Control of Your Computer
The 'National Security Agency' Ransomware scam is a very common type of threat that acts using the following steps:
- First, the 'National Security Agency' Ransomware Trojan enters the victim's computer using typical threat delivery methods. Typical ways in which the 'National Security Agency' Ransomware Trojan may infect a computer include through compromised email attachments, attack websites or through the use of social engineering scams.
- Once the 'National Security Agency' Ransomware Trojan infects the victim's computer, the 'National Security Agency' Ransomware blocks all access to the victim's files or Desktop. The 'National Security Agency' Ransomware Trojan essentially takes the victim's computer hostage and prevents the computer user from accessing files stored on it or go beyond the start-up screen.
- Whenever Windows starts up, the 'National Security Agency' Ransomware Trojan displays a fake, full screen message from the NSA.

After threatening the victim with jail time and fines of thousands of dollars, the 'National Security Agency' Ransomware Trojan claims that the computer user can avoid these penalties by paying a fake police fine using an electronic payment service such as Ukash or MoneyPak.
