Computer infections that intend to steal money from unsuspecting computer users usually do it by acquiring credit card information and performing illegal financial operations on the user's behalf. Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft Virus does not need to do it. It is a ransomware infection similar to ICSPA Virus, and it pushes the infected user into transferring the money himself. Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft Virus is classified as ransomware program. It means that it blocks desktop access and literally holds your computer hostage, claiming that you have committed serious crimes and therefore your computer has been locked.
Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft Virus is localized for computer users in Switzerland. This infection is part of the Ukash Virus group, and so it functions just like Tietoverkkorikosten Tutkinnan Yksikkö Virus, Luxembourg Police Grand-Ducale Virus and other similar malicious applications.
