The program titled as above is the new virus that strikes many PCs all over the world nowadays. Not only UK suffers from it but other countries too. UK's Specialist Crime Directorate and its Police Central e-crime Unit have nothing to do with spreading, prompting or distributing this ransomware that you see at the screenshot. This virus hijacks (locks) computers and makes them totally non-functional. Users are not able to do anything with their computers. When they try to reboot their system into safe mode the same hijacked status would remain. The following message would be in front of desktop, instead of the common background.
Specialist Crime Directorate Police Central e-crime Unit Metropolitan Police Attention!!! This operating system is locked due to the violation of the laws of the United Kingdom! Following violations were detected: Your IP address is [removed]. This IP address was used to visit websites containing pornography, child pornography, zoophilia and child abuse. Your computer also contains video files with pornographic content, elements of violence and child pornography! Spam-messages with terrorist motives were also sent from your computer. To unlock the computer you are obliged to pay a fine of £ 100. You could pay the forfeit in two ways: 1) Paying through Ukash: To do this, you should enter the 19 digits code in the payment form and press OK (if you have several codes, enter them one after the other and press OK). If an error occurs, send the codes to address surcharge@cyber-metropolitan-police.co.uk. 2) Paying through Paysafecard: To do this, you should enter the 16 digits resulting code (if necessary with a password) in the payment form and press OK (if you have several codes, enter them one after the other and press OK). If an error occurs, send the codes to address surcharge@cyber-metropolitan-police.co.uk.
Please do not disclose any of your financial information to the crooks that elaborated this malware. This is what they want - to make you scared and on this basis to share some of your funds with them by means of fraud. Instead of paying this ransom you'd better follow the removal guide provided below.
