Do you know what Poliisihallituksen Virus is?
Poliisihallituksen Virus is a ransomware infection which seeks to obtain money from Finnish computer users. The threat is also known as Keskusrikospoliisi virus. The reason why there are two names to refer to a single threat is because the fraudulent warning contains more than one heading. In fact, the threat that displays the notification is a Trojan horse, which you should remove from the PC. Keskusrikospoliisi virus is one of the many variants of the Trojan Urausy, including Ministerul Afacerilor Interne virus, Služba Kriminální Policie a Vyšetřování virus, Computer Incident Response Center Luxembourg virus, and many others.
It is very easy to get confused about what exactly should be done once the warning is displayed for the notification looks as if it was sent on behalf of Finnish police and some other institutions. The warning also contains some accusations and demand that the users pay a fine, which has to be paid using Paysafecard. It is crucial that you not pay the release fee as the computer may remain as it is – there is no guarantee that you will be able to use the PC as usual, so instead of wasting money, implement a spyware removal tool that will eliminate Poliisihallituksen Virus from the PC.
