Police National Francaise Virus

Being infected with ransomware programs simply means that your security most probably has been breached by Trojans or rookits before. Such malicious programs as Police National Francaise Virus are generally distributed by Trojans, but other means of distribution could be employed as well. Once you get infected with this ransomware application your desktop is locked and you are displayed a false security notification. Unless you remove Police National Francaise Virus from your PC, the notification will remain on your screen, terrorizing you into paying 100 euro for a crime you have not committed.

Removing Police National Francaise Virus involves unlocking your computer. Scroll down to the instructions below to find out how to do it and keep in mind that there is nothing legitimate about this program and you should never believe what it has to say. Just like ANSSI Virus, FBI Cybercrime Division or Police Lock Virus Gimemo and other infections from Ukash Virus family, Police National Francaise Virus merely tries to convince you that you will be in a serious trouble if you do not pay the ransom fee in time:

Pour débloquer votre ordinateur il vous faut payer amende à hauteur de 100 euros! Il faut payer l’amende dans 72 heures du blocage de votre ordinateur! En cas de non-payement de l’amende toutes les donnéés su votre ordinateur seront fait disparaître!

To put it simply, Police National Francaise Virus gives you 72 hours to pay the fine, otherwise it threatens to delete all of your files. What is more, the infection also states that unless you pay the fine, a criminal case will be initiated against you for having been involved in child pornography distribution. This is the “main” reason why your computer gets blocked, but naturally, there are no grounds to believe the infection.

The infection requires you to transfer the fine via Ukash or PaySafeCard alternative payment systems. These systems are not related to Ukash Virus group, but they are often used by cyber criminals to collect fine payments, because almost anyone can make use of them, even if the person in question does not have a credit card or a bank account. Consequently, if you pay via alternative payment system, the money is hard to track and even harder to get back.

Hence, keep your money to yourself and unlock your PC right now. Then get yourself a powerful antimalware tool and remove Police National Francaise Virus once and for all.
