Ever since May 2012 the users have been plagued with a great number of ransomware applications. Information Resources Management Association Virus is the newest computer threat that holds the user's computer hostage and then demands a release fee that is supposed to solve all problems. Unfortunately, Information Resources Management Association Virus is not a legitimate program although it does look like a notification delivered by the Information Resources Management Association.
Information Resources Management Association Virus accuses you of viewing, storing and utilizing copyrighted software illegally. The accusations might seem valid to some users, because this notification comes with the McAfee logo that confirms "This site is secure". And since a lot of users still download copyrighted software and media illegally, the accusations could seem legitimate as well. However, there is nothing legal about Information Resources Management Association Virus, it is a ransomware infection that comes from Ukash virus family, and shares the same attack tactics as FBI MoneyPak, European Law Enforcement Agency Virus, Politia Romana Virus and others.
Hence the message delivered by the ransomware should be ignored:
Now your PC is locked by Business Software Alliance trade group and Information Resources Management Association.
Warning! Do not use pirate (forbidden) content.If you don't pay the fee, all data about using of pirate (forbidden) content, your personal IP address, webcam data (if you use it) will be sent to the self-government, where your case will be considered on an individual basis and appropriate measures will be taken.
You should buy MoneyPack code denominated of 250 dollars.
As you can see Information Resources Management Association Virus expects you to pay 250 USD in order to avoid being prosecuted. It also promises to unlock your computer, but that is never going to happen.
