Thousands of computers located in Germany and other German-speaking countries are nowadays being attacked with a serious ransomware virus application titled as Achtung! Aus Sicherheitsgründen wurde Ihr Windowssystem blockiert. This is the scareware program aiming to steal money from unwary users. They are unaware of the fact that this warning has nothing to do with the truth. They do not realize that it was developed by the team of cyber hackers who simply want to deceive users and to make them the victims of the frauds who invented this ransomware application. Here is how this virus threat actually works. Suddenly, almost out of the blue, the desktop of the PC is locked with the background titled as described above. The user cannot do anything with it. The background cannot be removed using the well-known techniques, whereas the user cannot really do anything with his/her PC. Thus, in other words, the entire PC is locked by this virus, resulting in total inability to use the computer for personal or business needs. The ransomware application tells that the user has been noticed in watching extremely illegal portions of information which actually led to the blockage. It also says that due to browsing such illegal sites certain important system files were corrupted and that the update of the system must be initiated. However, in order to allegedly update the system to unlock it the fee (ransom) must be paid. This is exactly what the program aims to get from you.
