Trojan.Ransomlock.T

Trojan.Ransomlock.T is a malicious computer infection which locks the screen of the computer and displays a full-screen warning in order to make you think that you are being monitor by the local authorities. The infection can arrive at the computer in various ways; hence, if you do not have any reliable computer security tool, you risk your privacy. Trojan.Ransomlock.T may be distributed via email; you may also find a corrupt link on some unreliable website.

According to the warning displayed by Trojan.Ransomlock.T, you are accused of alleged involvement in the distribution and use of prohibited material. Over the last year, it has been observed that the wording of different ransom warnings displayed by Trojan horses is alike. The only significant difference is the institutions presented. For example, in order to deceive computer users in the United States, the criminals use the logos of FBI, United States Department of Justice, etc. This is done in order to make the user believe that the warning is real. The truth is that Trojan.Ransomlock.T, and other screen-lockers, are aimed at obtaining your money. The user is told that he or she has to pay a particular fee to have the computer unlocked, which is a lie. In order to get rid of the misleading warning it is enough to implement a powerful malware removal tool, so do not hesitate to do it.

The amount of money requested depends on the currency of the country in which the threat is spread. Usually, the so-called fine varies from $50 to $300. In order to pay the money, the user is required to buy a Paysafecard, Ukash, or MoneyPak voucher and then enter its code into the box on the warning. These online payment systems can be safely used only on particular websites, and if you come across a questionable warning according to which you are supposed to make a money transaction, ignore it.
