All of them block the desktop and then demand a ransom fee, for crimes you haven't committed. Polizia Penitenziaria Virus claims that you have download and illegally distributed copyrighted content, as well as material related to child pornography and bestiality:

ATTENZIONE! Il Suo computer e  bloccato a causa di uno o piu motivi di cui sotto.

Ha visionato o ha distribuito il material pornografic vietato (Pornografia infantile/Zoofilia, ecc.). Violando l'art. 202 del Codice Penale dell'Italia. L'art 202 del Codice Penale prevede una reclusione per un periodo da 4 a 12 anni.

La sanzione penale potrebbe essere pagata solo nel corso di 72 ore dopo la violazione. Dopo 72 ore il termine previsto per il pagamento della sanzione penal scade, e nel corso successsive 72 ore sara automaticamente promossa l'instaurazione di un procedimento penal a Suo carico!

L'importo della sanzione penale e di €100 PaySafeCard o Ukash.

Polizia Penitenziaria Virus and other Ukash Virus group infections make use of such alternative payment systems as PaySafeCard or Ukash, because they are simple to use and do not require credit card information. It might seem as though a legal case can be initiated against you if you do not pay within 72 hours of infringement, but since the entire message is fake, you can be rest assured that declining to pay will have no legal consequences.
