It does not seem like the ransomware infections are going to leave you alone anytime soon, because there is a new computer threat on the loose called Mandiant U.S.A. Cyber Security Virus. It comes from the notorious Ukash Virus group, and it is distributed by the Urausy Trojan. This infection terrorizes users in the United States, making them think that they have violated several laws and so their computers have been locked up. In order to remove Mandiant U.S.A. Cyber Security Virus, you need to unlock your PC. Keep in mind that there is nothing legitimate about the message on your screen, so do all you can to get rid of this infection.
It may seem as though Mandiant U.S.A. Cyber Security Virus gives you a limited amount of time to pay the “fine”. However, just like ICSPA Virus or Votre fournisseur d’accès à Internet est bloqué virus, this infection tries to make you think that you have really violated several national laws, and therefore, you need to pay the fine within 48 hours, otherwise you would be facing criminal charges at court. Mandiant U.S.A. Cyber Security Virus claims that if you pay the fine within the given period of time, your computer will be unlocked and you will avoid the trial, but that is very far from the truth. Therefore, even if the accusations seem to be really serious, do ignore them point blank:

Amount of fine is 300$. You can settle the fine with MoneyPak or MoneyGram xpress Packet vouchers.
You can see an extract from the notification displayed Mandiant U.S.A. Cyber Security Virus above. It makes use of such alternative payment systems as Moneygram or MoneyPak to target as many innocent users as possible, because alternative payment systems does not require you to have a bank account to transfer the money.
