Reveton Trojan, also known as Trojan:W32/Reveton, is an computer infection that is responsible for a vast lock-down of computers in the USA and Europe. The Trojan sneaks into the PC unnoticed, which usually happens because of irresponsible browsing and the absence of a reliable security program on the PC. If you have downloaded a free program or visited some unreliable websites and now find that the PC is locked down, it is very likely that the computer is infected with Reveton Trojan, which you should remove immediately; otherwise, you will not be able to use the PC at all.
Judging from the interface of the virus, the message which is displayed on the screen, you may think that your computer has been blocked by the FBI, Interpol or any other law enforcement institution such as Polizia Di Stato, Bundesamt für Polizei or West Yorshire Police. Moreover, another element that causes the most worries is false allegations, which is a powerful method for prompting users to pay a ransom for restoring the computer’s settings. The message of the virus displays supposed accusations that your computer may contain copyrighted material and files of pornographic nature or that you are related to the dissemination of propaganda. False accusations, the illusion that you are being monitored, and the demand for a ransom fee of, for example, 100 Euros, 100 American dollars or of nay other currency is nothing but a scam. Therefore, pay not attention to the way the virus treats you and the PC, and remove Reveton Trojan as soon as you can. Keep in mind that Reveton Trojan can be displayed in different languages; for instance, if you are located in Italy, your PC is susceptible to Polizia Di Stato Virus; if you live in Germany, one day you may catch GVU virus.
