Worldwide Ukash Virus Attacks

It is impossible to write about computer security and dismiss the infamous Ukash Virus family, to which the cunning FBI Moneypak also belongs. I have written about the treacherous infection a couple of weeks ago; however, one personalized report cannot even begin to reveal the significance of the entire faction that keeps spreading into more and more countries all over the world. In this report, I will try to review how the malignant group of ransom-ware has emerged, what its strategies and objections are and what Windows users need to do in order to remove Ukash Virus and protect their operating systems against it.

It is extremely difficult to determine which malignant ransom-ware from the vast Ukash virus faction emerged first; however, one of the first sightings must be the widely researched and reported PRS for Music virus. The infection was first reported in March of 2012 and suggested a threat to Windows users living in the United Kingdom. Since then, the country faced attacks from the Metropolitan Police virus, the West Yorkshire Police virus, the Police Central e-Crime Unit virus and other infections with similar, misleading names.

Surely enough, after getting the first taste of success, cyber criminals behind the group of malignant infections have moved on to infecting even more computers located in the richest countries of the world. This includes the U.S., Canada, Australia, Egypt, Germany, Luxembourg, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Spain and a few other European countries. In fact, the success of the initial Ukash viruses was so great that more and more forms of this cunning infection can now be indicated. This raises a question whether more groups of schemers have not applied the same techniques, as now tens of ransom-ware viruses are being categorized accordingly to the infections that initiate their existence.

When talking about Ukash viruses, the name of the Reveton Trojan must be mentioned, because this sinister application is responsible for the biggest part of Windows terrorizing viruses. Some of these infections are the GVU virus, the Federal Bureau of Investigation virus, the Luxembourg Police virus and the International Police Association virus. Regardless, all Ukash infections are represented in the same manner, and once malignant components lock down a computer and remove access to the desktop, Windows user is presented with a fictitious notification. Almost always this bogus alert is filled with accusations about cyber piracy, terrorism or pornography distribution.

Ukash virus removal is not an easy task and even experienced Windows users are likely to face serious issues generated by the rootkit Trojan functionality. Despite this, it is possible to unlock a paralyzed computer and remove Ukash virus, in whichever form it may come, without complying with the ridiculous ransom payment demands.

All in all, Ukash viruses are meant to be destroyed, not trusted, which is why it is important to have this infection deleted in any possible way.
