National Security Agency virus

Ransomware infections are a type of computer threats that hold your computer hostage in hopes of swindling you out of your money. National Security Agency Virus is one of the most common ransomware infections nowadays, as it comes from the Ukash Virus group, which has been terrorizing computer users worldwide since the beginning of 2012. This infection denies you desktop access and displays a fake notification across your screen, claiming that your computer has been locked due to illegal cyber activities. However, all of the claims are worthless, as the infection only tries to steal your money. Go around its defenses by unlocking your computer and remove National Security Agency Virus immediately.

You can restore your desktop access by referring to the instructions below this article. Once you have your desktop back, make sure that you scan your PC with a powerful security application, as there might be other infections present in your system apart from National Security Agency Virus. That is so, because this ransomware applications is distributed by Trojans (Urausy, Reveton and others), and it may even be related rootkit infections. Thus, it is important to take your computer security seriously and remove National Security Agency Virus along with other related threats at once.

Once you get infected with National Security Agency Virus, you are to expect the same malware behavior as users who were infected with NSA Virus, PRISM Virus and other similar ransomware applications. To put it simply – the infection locks you out of your computer by displaying a huge notification that was supposedly delivered by the National Security Agency (hence the name of the infection). The notification claims that child pornography material has been detected on your computer and in order to avoid criminal charges you are to pay a few hundred US dollars.

The infection also says that you have only limited time to pay the aforementioned fine. If you fail to pay the fine within the given time, National Security Agency Virus threatens to lock your computer for good and delete all of your data:

ALL SUSPICIOUS FILES FROM YOUR COMPUTER WERE TRANSMITTED TO A SPECIAL SERVER AND SHALL BE USED AS EVIDENCES. DON’T TRY TO CORRUPT ANY DATA OR UNBLOCK YOUR COMPUTER IN AN UNAUTHORIZED WAY.

Despite all the threats, National Security Agency Virus cannot live up to its terrible “promises”. It can only threaten you and leave your computer locked. But it can neither forward your data to law enforcement authorities nor format your data. You need to get rid of National Security Agency Virus as soon as possible.
