You log onto the PC and find a warning whose headline reads “Australian Communications and Media Authority”. Do not panic, your will not be arrested as the warning you see is generated by Australian Communications and Media Authority virus, which is a scam, and which you should remove from the PC as soon as you can. The suspicious warning contains some other sub-headings and logos of famous institutions in Australia, but the fact that they are given in front of you should not encourage you to follow the instructions provided in the warning.
Australian Communications and Media Authority virus is a threat that is also known as AFP Crime Commission virus. This so because the warning displayed the Trojan infection contains various logos of real Australian institutions, including the Royal Australian Corps of Military Police, and the Australian Crime Commission (ACC). Even though the institutions presented would like to find the cyber criminals who created the infection, they have nothing to do with you and the accusations you find in the warning.
Do not bother yourself thinking of the accusations of being involved in pornography issues or the use of pirated files. Additionally, you should disregard the demand to pay a fine of 100 Australian dollars. According to the warning, the money has to be paid using a Ukash voucher; however, at the top of the warning, another online money transaction service Paysafecard is presented.
In any case, Australian Communications and Media Authority virus should be removed from the PC as soon as possible. Other variants that are known to be related to the ransomware, including Serios Organised Crime Agency Virus and Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information virus, are known to use the same interface and wording; only the language and the authoritative institutions differ.
If you want to remove Australian Communications and Media Authority virus and be one of those computer users who have already removed the ransomware infections mentioned above, implement SpyHunter. It will scan the PC, remove the infection, and safeguard you against various computer threats, professionally.
