Ordinateur est verrouille Ransomware propagates with the help of a 'Police' Ransomware Trojan via insecure websites, malicious downloads, or spam email messages. The 'Police' Ransomware Trojan blocks the targeted PC and asks the attacked computer user to pay a fine of 100 Euro through the prepaid payment systems such as Ukash or Paysafecard to regain access to the locked computer. Ordinateur est verrouille Ransomware displays a frightening image/pop-up alert, which is supposedly sent by the Police Nationale (French police) in an effort to make victims think they committed cybercrime. The deceptive pop-up warning message of Ordinateur est verrouille Ransomware states that activity on your PC has been suspended because you were performing illegitimate online actions, such as downloading and dispersing pirated files or copyrighted content, and sending spam messages to other PCs.
