My android phone is blocked by a police picture indicating I have to pay the fine if I want to unlock it or they will take legal action against me. I use Google to search it and make sure that it is just a scam virus. Thank God I wasn’t fooled by it. But I can’t figure out a way to delete the virus and get my phone to work as usual. Could anyone help me out of the problem? I will be so grateful if any suggestion is offered.

Hi there. I have a problem on my computer. Whenever I browse online, it comes up a message from Norton product saying that it detects Adware.DealPly on my computer. The warning keeps popping up and won’t go away. It also says me to contact support immediately. I don’t think this is a real warning, but I cannot find a way to get rid of it. Please help me to remove this annoying pop up!!!
Adware.DealPly is categorized as adware that can install on a compromised PC without any knowledge and load up random ads pop-ups or banners whenever you browse online. This adware can throw endless pop-up ads to you and create a lot of computer problems. It is commonly known to offer various coupon deals or saving offers through shopping sites on the internet. However, it doesn’t belong to computer virus so most antivirus programs cannot pick it up and remove it so far. Once it gets installed on your computer, it changes your browser settings and adds malicious add-ons without your approval, therefore it is not surprised that your default homepage and search engine get changed to web pages you are not familiar with and numerous ads about coupons, discount codes and deals keep being displayed on your browser. In addition, it can keep forcing users to visit irrelevant pages again and again and prevent them from going to the web page they really want.

With the great invention of android smart mobile phone, some evil viruses occur to bring troubles to damage the machine. Many android phones have been blocked by various warning pages requesting a fine to unlock. In fact, those messages are huge scams! We should know that they are not from any legal organization of the country. You won’t be in jail. U.S. Department of Homeland Security Virus that locks your android phone for safety reasons belongs to this type of virus.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Virus prevents you from accessing the phone with a fake warning message. Locking your phone screen and blaming you for violating copyright or some other laws, the virus requires you to pay a fine within a limited time. Otherwise, you will have to bear legal liability and face the possibility of being in prison. Of course, this really sounds terrible for everyone! Some people will pay the fine, because no one wants to be involved in illegal problems. But the warning message is a part of the cunning ransomware.

I think I got this police virus saying that I must pay 100 pounds within a week, if not the criminal charges will be taken against me. Last night I had this PCEU virus that told me my phone Samsung models sgh\1407 had been locked to stop illegal activities after it accused me of breaking copyright laws and looking at prohibited pornographic content (child porn, zoophillia) It said since its my first time I can get it off if I pay £100 in the next 72 hours through UKash and Paysafe. I was scared and almost paid for the fine. But one of my friends told me it was a scam. So is this PCEU on my android phone real or fake? If it is a virus, how does it come to my phone? I am using Samsung Galaxy S4, how do I unlock my android phone? Sometimes, this ransomware affects tablet warning pay 100 pound in the next 24 hours or you will be arrested, what does the remaining time mean on soca pecu virus? How to resolve PCEU ￡100 android phone scam?
Is your Android device locked by PCEU Virus now? With the development of technology, more and more people are using smart phone nowadays. Therefore, those greedy hackers seize the chance and then produce another Ransomware that is mainly used to attack the phone or tablet. This virus can hack to your phone for any reasons. You may get it by clicking malicious code or unsafe advertising pop-ups, visiting pornographic website or opening attachment from spam emails because this virus usually disguises itself as Flash Player app to trick users into downloading. Once downloaded, it rapidly takes over your phone and scrambles your data unless you pay a fee. However, don’t be scared for PCEU virus is just a scam found in March, 2013 that targets computer users in the United Kingdom. You will not get any trouble from the real Police Central E-crime Unit, but you have to get rid of it from your phone immediately once upon detection.
