Ransomware infections that are distributed by Reveton are making a come back this February with a whole new batch of computer threats intended to steal money from users located in multiple countries. Váš počítač je uzamknutý virus infects computers in Slovakia. It locks down the PC and then displays a fake screen-sized notification supposedly sent by Slovak Police Force (Slovenská Polícia) that claims the user has breached a few important articles and thus he is now denied a desktop access. Váš počítač je uzamknutý virus says that you have violated author copyrights by downloading and distributing copyrighted content, and so on. The message is generated to scare you into spending your money for the fine that should not be paid at all.
Váš počítač je uzamknutý virus comes from a Ukash Virus group, and it does not matter whether the ransomware is distributed by Reveton trojan or Urausy trojan - the effect on the infected computer is the same. Therefore, Váš počítač je uzamknutý virus functions just like Police Rendőrség Virus, Policie České Republiky Virus, Dirección General de la Policía Virus and other ransomware infections that have been detected in multiple countries worldwide. They want to make you think that you have really committed criminal offense. If a user cannot access his desktop and he is in panic, he is more likely to spend 100 euro on the supposed fine.
