Polícia Judiciária de Portugal Virus

Windows users living in Portugal could be targeted by the malicious Polícia Judiciária de Portugal Virus. The threat activated by the Urausy Trojan is represented though a misleading ransom warning which you will find on the desktop as soon as the devious program blocks the access to it. The infection is not only highly irritating, as it is also incredibly deceitful. At first sight, it seems as if your operating Windows system has been locked by the Police and that you need to pay a fine of €100 to prevent much larger penalties, including imprisonment. Needless to say, this outcome is truly intimidating, which is why many Windows users simply pay the fine without thinking it through. In reality, the only way to regain access to the system is by having Polícia Judiciária de Portugal Virus removed. You can delete the threat either manually or automatically, and you can learn more about this in the report.

An excerpt from the misleading Polícia Judiciária de Portugal Virus notification:

ATENÇÃO! O seu computador pessoal está bloqueado por razões de segurança, pelas seguintes razões. […]
Também na análise de informações armazenadas no seu computador pessoal, foi constatado que a partir do seu computador em uma base regular ocorre envio de spams em massa, quais você organizou […] Assim, você é acusado na investigação sobre violação não internacional […]
O tamanho da sua multa é de €100 euros.

Even the style in which the warning is written in suggests that it has been prepared by authentic Police and other law enforcement departments, like Unidade Especial de Polícia, Copyright Alliance, Europol and Cyber Crime Unit. Nonetheless, the most powerful tool in the scam is the credentials of these organizations. Those Windows users who fall for the trick and transfer money for the bogus fine via Ukash or Paysafecard, will not be able to be refunded. Have you already performed this? Even if your PC has been unlocked, which is highly unlikely, you still need to delete Polícia Judiciária de Portugal Virus from the computer. Note that the rule remains the same if you are dealing with Polícia de Segurança Pública Portuguese Virus, Atenção! Seu computador e bloqueado! Virus and other threats which target Portuguese Windows users.

If you wish to delete Polícia Judiciária de Portugal Virus manually, you may face some serious troubles, just because the malicious Urausy Trojan is supported by rootkit components. If you do not know where to start looking for malignant files which require removal, you probably should choose an alternative option. Using automatic spyware removal tools is beneficial because legally installed software can also ensure that you do not need to worry about malware removal or Windows protection in the future.
