Latvijas Valsts Policija Virus Removal Guide

Is your screen blocked by a strange notification that does not allow you to access your desktop? Are you from Latvia? Then the chances are that you are infected with Latvijas Valsts Policija virus. This computer infection is classified as ransomware application. It is very similar to other infections from the same group, such as Politie Office Central Virus. Latvijas Valsts Policija Virus is localized for users in Latvia or anyone, who uses Latvian IP. When you are infected with this threat, you see a notification on your screen which says that your computer has been locked by the Latvian Police office (Latvijas Policja). Supposedly, you have committed a few cyber crimes and so your PC has been locked by the authorities.

Perhaps such claims and tactics are successful in intimidating computer users - naturally, it is easy to give your money away, when your computer is blocked and you are threatened with possible imprisonment. However, Latvijas Valsts Policija Virus is created by cyber criminals and it has nothing with law enforcement authorities. It makes use of the same tactics as other Ukash virus group infections - Europol Virus, Decrypt Protect Virus, and so on. The first thing that you have to do, is keep your money to yourself. No matter what Latvijas Valsts Policija Virus tells you, you need to realize that the entire notification on your screen is false. Therefore, do not even think of transferring your money via Ukash or PaySafeCard:
