Can the UK Police lock your mobile device like locking out your computer? I’ve got a problem in my mobile and I can’t go on the internet or web browser and it’s saying in accused of watching child pornography but I was on Tubidy, it now wants me to pay a fine of ￡100 with a ￡100 Ukash or PaySafeCard code. I don’t know what to do can you please help me? My android phone is locked by a police virus which is called Uk Police PCEU Ukash or something. It says my phone is blocked because it is involved with the distribution of pornographic material, spam and copyrighted content that I have never done before. What is this thing? Got strange messages on android phone when on porn sites, and can’t watch porn without UK police ukcash thing popping up, if you get ticket through the phone for watching porn? Is it possible to get a fine on your phone? I have somehow got a ukase virus on my phone, it says I must pay ￡100 to unblock my phone how do I remove the virus? It really scared me. Is it just a scam and i won’t be put in jail? If so, how to remove the government warning from my Samsung galaxy S5 android phone if got a pop up on my screen saying I have 48 hours with a countdown to pay 100 euros to the police and i am kinda freaking out. Also tablet block saying got to pay ￡250 is this the same a scam, how long will the UK Police Ukash Virus stay on my tablet if i can’t remove it, is there a code to remove it?
UK Police Ukash Virus is another variant of the infamous Ukash Virus that targets computer users and smartphone or tablet users in the United Kingdom. If it attacks your computer, it can infiltrate to your system without your permission or knowledge with the use of security exploits. And then it begins its aggressive attacks on your machine. At the first beginning, it blocks the victimized computer and asks the victim to pay a fine of a certain amount of money to restore access to the PC. If it blocks your android phone/tablet, your whole screen will display a fake government block until you pay a fine from 100 pounds to 250 pounds. In fact, it is unnecessary for a user to pay the fine because United Kingdom Police is a bogus warning created by criminals in order to cheat innocent users.

I just downloaded a video player a few minutes ago and the next thing I found my homepage was hijacked by Websearch.hotfindings.info so I went to Internet Option setting to reset my homepage. But it didn’t work at all. I am using IE browser and there are numerous types of pop up ads whenever I go to shopping website like Amazon, ebay or other similar sites. I tried to search a solution but this website took over my default search provider as well. I really need assistance removing this hijacker thing. I have spent a few hours scanning my computer with Malwarebytes but it detected nothing. The page doesn’t seem to go away. Please help me get rid of it.
If you find your current homepage or search engine suddenly changed to Websearch.hotfindings.info and your web browser starts behaving strangely or displays various ads, it is a clear sign that your PC has been infected with adware or potentially unwanted program like malicious add-ons, toolbar or other extensions. This hijacker can secretly infiltrate into Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and even Safari without asking for user’s permission.

Help, my Sumsung Note 4 is blocked by Cybercrime Politie Nederland. I just turned on my phone. Then I saw something stating that I did illegal things online which I didn’t do anything. Now I can use my phone. How to unblock my phone?
Cybercrime Politie Nederland is a kind of Ransomware infection which now not only targets computer systems but also infects Android phones. This virus infects an IP address located in Netherlands. It can blocked your phone and then ask you to pay for a certain amount of fine with the reason that you are going against the law of Netherlands online. Then it will list lots of illegal things online which you may even don’t do it. It also says that if you don’t pay for the fine, you will be accused to court by the police. However, what it stated is fake information which used to trick you and then earn an extra profit. If your phone is blocked by this virus, don’t pay for the fine, but find a way to get rid of this virus as early as you can.

I got a pop up on my web browser when I was on a site that said my phone has been blocked because I have violated the law and/or I am being monitored something. It requested me to pay a fine of £100. I got really freaked out because the alert seems real and it claims it is from Metropolitan Police. Virus? It also displays my IP address and shows my picture on the blocked message. I got really freaked out and I have tried a lot of ways to exit the page, but it won’t let me do that. I can’t access the Internet anyhow. I also powered off the phone a million times, but when I turned it back on it popped up right way. Is this real or a virus designed to scam people? There is a big message screen Metropolitan Police saying he violates some laws due to being involved with the distribution of pornographic material, SPAM and copyrighted content. It demands that we need to pay for a fine of £100 so that his phone can be unlocked. I search this information with Google on my computer, and I know it is really a scam virus. I have tried restarting my phone but it wont work at all. What should i do? I have an iPhone 6 and I though Apple is virus free. What should I do? I’m just sending a message because a couple of days ago, i got some fake pop up blocker accusing me of watching illegal pornography. It demanded £200 or something, claimed it was Metropolitan Police, multiple windows with porn ads popped up and then this blocker with all of these fake articles/laws telling me they’ve caught me viewing illegal pornography, which obviously, i was not doing. Do these people have access to other info of mine now?!!!
Metropolitan Police Ukash Virus is an infamous scam designed to scare innocent users in United Kingdom and then rip off their money. Actually scams like this have been going on for a while now — just do a simple Google search on “UK Police Ukash Virus” or “Metropolitan police virus” and you’ll find a lot of results. This virus started to attack computer users, and then it turned to hack mobile users using Android device and right now it is landed on Apple device that can block one’s Internet access on iMac, iPhone or even iPad. The scam illegitimately disguises as the United Kingdom Police (UK Police) and blocks user’s Internet access using a full screen page, which alleges the phone or iPad is blocked due to the reason that you have been violating Copyright and related laws (infringing Article 128 of the Criminal Code of Great Britain , viewing or distributing prohibited pornography (including child Porn/Zoophillia article 202), and other laws. At first sight, it looks real because it has the Metropolitan Police seals and banner and it displays your IP address, even takes a picture of you and shows your picture on the message. But if you take a closer look, you will find something fishy and this message is so obviously not written by someone fluent in English. It has grammatical errors and spelling mistake. The only goal of this virus is to scare Apple users into paying a fine of £100 in order to access the Internet again and avoid all the violations it mentioned. Please note, this message is far from real. It is not really from Metropolitan Police or any other legitimate organizations, so you will not be in trouble with the United Kingdom police. It is a virus targeting Windows users, Android users and Apple users so you had better remove it step by step.
