PCeU infection

PCeU infection follows the same methods of Nederlands Politie Virus, Cuerpo National De Policia Virus and FBI Moenypak. This time, the devious schemers behind the virus are using the well known name of Police Central e-crime Unit, a special department within the Metropolitan Police that fights cyber crime and investigates such high-risk activities as personal systems’ intrusions, DoS attacks or e-fraud. It is this British agency that could help you fight and remove PCeU infection and other similar malware, and cyber criminals realized that the highly respectable and trustable name could be used for their devious scam of getting your money.

After infiltrating into your personal computer, PCeU infection is meant to lock your system with a message, warning you about criminal activity detected within your PC. You should not pay any attention to the bogus warning and various incriminating statements about visiting pornographic content sites or allegedly sending messages linked to terrorism. Please study the fictitious message below:

Attention!!!
This operating system is locked due to the violation of the laws of the United Kingdom! Following violations were detected:
This IP address was used to visit websites containing pornography, child pornography, zoophilia and child abuse. Your computer also contains videos with Pornographic content, elements of violence and child pornography! Spam-messages with terrorist motives were also sent from your computer.
This computer lock is aimed to stop your illegal activity […]
To unlock your computer you are obliged to pay a fine of £100.
You could pay the forfeit in two ways:
1) Paying through Ukash […]
2) Paying through Paysafecard […]
If an error occurs, send the codes to address surcharge@cyber-metropolitan-police.co.uk

Once you read through this warning, you should understand that accusations stated have nothing to do with reality, and if you contacted the fictitious email given at the bottom of the warning, it is most likely that you would not get any response. Moreover, if you are in any doubt, we urge you to contact Metropolitan Police itself, and you will be assured that no fine should be paid to anyone.

You have to realize that if you cleared the alleged fine of £100, you would give your money to the crooked schemers, which means that your money would simply be wasted! Plus, there is no assurance that this action would unlock your computer, because of which we urge you to delete PCeU infection. We do not recommend venturing into manual removal operations, because the virus is extremely deceptive and one single missed component could revive the malignant application, and your time with this removal would simply be wasted. Automatic removal tools are most reliable with having PCeU infection deleted, and if you are ready to protect your system and remove existing malware:
