ProgramWin32Pameseg.U is a hazardous ransomware which wants affected PC users to purchase some software programs that are freely available on the Internet. ProgramWin32Pameseg.U asks computer users to send SMS messages to premium numbers for a successful installation of some software products. ProgramWin32Pameseg.U comes bundled with some software installation tools. When ProgramWin32Pameseg.U enters the corrupted PC system, it displays pop-up alerts and interfaces of a foreign language, which informs the computer user that he/she should send an SMS message to a predefined number. After the infected computer user sends the SMS, he/she gets an activation code to activate any one of certain software products. The activation codes ProgramWin32Pameseg.U gives after the PC user sends the SMS to the premium number are falsified, and all of the software applications ProgramWin32Pameseg.U claims to be able to activate are freeware programs. Do not pay for a so-called activation of any of offered applications. ProgramWin32Pameseg.U also downloads and installs other malware infections to the corrupted machine. Remove ProgramWin32Pameseg.U as quickly as possible.
