Polícia De Segurança Pública Virus

Do not panic if you see a notification from the Portuguese Public Security Police presented on your screen. It does not mean that you are about to face any criminal charges. It simply shows that you are infected with Polícia De Segurança Pública Virus that is a ransomware infection, designed to deny you desktop access and then demand ransom fee from you. Polícia De Segurança Pública Virus claims that it is a legal representative of the Portuguese Police force, and the notification is displayed because you have been involved in illegal cyber activity, and therefore, your computer has been locked. It lists a number of charges that you are accused of in its message:

ATENÇÃO! O seu PC está bloqueado devido a, pelo menos, por uma das seguintes razões.

Você estava a ver ou distribuir conteúdo Pornográfico proibido (Pornografia Infantil/Zoofilia e etc). Violando assim o artigo 202 do Código Penal da República Portuguesa.

As multas só podem ser pagos durante 72 horas após a infração. Assim, depois de 72 horas, a possibilidade de pagar a multa sera expirada, e um processo criminal sera movido contra você automaticamente dentro das próximas 72 horas!

O valor de multa é €100.

Você pode pagar uma multa PaySafeCard ou Ukash.
