Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni Ransomware

Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni Ransomware - One More Version of the Ukash Virus

ESG security researchers have gotten various messages of infection with variants of the Ukash Virus. The Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware is one of the many possible faces of this nefarious winlocker. Basically, criminals attempt to make their victims panic by impersonating law enforcement, taking over the victim's computer and refusing to return control of the infected computer system until the victim pays a certain amount (in this case, 100 Euros) using the Ukash money transfer service. The Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware message impersonates the Italian police department in charge of communications and computer-related crime and issues. While this department of the Italian police is entirely legitimate, the Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware message has absolutely no relationship with legitimate law enforcement officials – Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware is part of a scam designed to scare computer users into handing over their cash. Fortunately, the Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware is not particularly difficult to remove.

Usually, starting up in Safe Mode is enough to gain control of the infected computer long enough to remove the Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware with a reliable anti-malware tool. The Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware is also easy to remove manually if you know how to edit the Windows Registry. It is simply a matter of removing the Windows Registry entry that allows the Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware to start up automatically and then finding and removing the files associated with this malware attacker.

The Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware is not particularly sophisticated. It uses a message that contains logos and emblems that give Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware an official look. The Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware message basically says (in Italian, since Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware targets computer users in Italy) that their computer was involved in illegal online activity, including child pornography and bestiality. Then, Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware refuses to allow the victim to gain access to their desktop until they pay the ransom and enter a registration number. To scare its victims, the Polizia postale e delle comunicazioni ransomware displays basic information about the infected computer system, such as the IP address, operating system version and web browser. ESG security analysts point out that this is not cause for worry and is general information that is quite easy to obtain (in fact, most websites you visit can obtain this information about your computer with ease).
