USA Cyber Crime Investigations Virus

Computer ransomware infections now get localized not only for countries but for separate states as well. USA Cyber Crime Investigations Virus is the newest ransomware application from Ukash Virus group, and it is intended for the computer users in the United States of America. What is more, the graphic user interface of this infection changes according to which state you reside in.

Hence, you must unlock your PC and then remove USA Cyber Crime Investigations Virus from your system immediately.

In a sense USA Cyber Crime Investigations Virus functions just like FBI MoneyPak Virus, Cyber Command of New York Virus, NSA Virus and all the other similar applications from the same virus family. There are quite a few ways for this infection to get into your computer, and most of the time USA Cyber Crime Investigations Virus and similar programs are known to be distributed by Trojans. Most of the time, this infection can make use of vulnerabilities that occur when you do not update your software on time. Then users are bound to download a fake updater onto their computer, and if the corrupted file is part of the ransomware distribution network, the moment you run the file, you get infected with USA Cyber Crime Investigations Virus.

When the infection takes place this program locks you out of your computer by displaying the following message:

You are accused of viewing/storage and/or dissemination of banned pornography (child pornography/zoophilia/rape etc). You have violated World Declaration on non-proliferation of child pornography. You are accused of committing the crime envisaged by Article 161 of United States of America criminal law.

The infection gives you 48 hours to transfer a fine via MoneyPak or MoneyGram alternative payment systems. According to the infection, if you pay a predetermined fine you will be able to avoid criminal charges and your computer will be unlocked immediately. Nevertheless, the entire thing is a terrible scam that has been devised by cyber criminals to swindle you out of your money.
