I’ve recently downloaded a free dvd burner program on my computer and soon I uninstalled it immediately when I found it useless. However, since then whenever I open Firefox, a new tab from Outfox.tv always appears. I guess it must be something related to the program I downloaded. It comes along with “Conduit Search” which has changed my default search and homepage. I’ve searched the web till my fingers bleed but can’t seem to find a way to get rid of the thing. It is really annoying. I’ve run just about every scan on the web and nothing touches it. I hope it won’t collect any information from me. Any help to get rid of this hijacker will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Outfox.tv is categorized as a browser hijacker that can change the browser search, add unnecessary add-ons/extensions or change start page and new tab page on the most popular browsers like IE, Firefox, and Chrome. It often comes bundled with various music players, video recorders and download managers. While you are installing this program and waiting for a “next step” of the installation process, you may see some options prompting you that some bundled software will be added on your computer, if you miss this step to opt-out, you can get this hijacker inside immediately. From that time, you will soon realize what you install is a disaster that makes all the web browsers run out of control.

I am freaking out! I believe my computer was blocked by Policia Departamento Cibercrime virus. Last night I was on a “normal” porn website when suddenly my cam flashed and subsequently I got a message from Policia Departamento Cibercrime. It said I did something illegal and asked me to pay 100 euro either using Ukash or Paysafecard to unblock computer in 48 hours, or the authorities might prosecute me. On the locked page, it also displayed my IP address, my location and my username. I don’t know what to do now. I can’t do anything on my computer. Is it real or just a scam wanting €100 from me? How can I get my computer unlocked?
Policia Departamento Cibercrime Virus is another variant of Ukash virus used to attack PC users in Portugal and other countries. Similarly to other Ukash or Moneypak Ransomware, it will lock the a target computer and demand that a fine must be paid in order to remove the block. Generally the amount will be requested for €100 and this virus even limits the time for you to pay the ransom. It only gives you 48 hours and threatens you if the fine is not paid in time, you will have to go jail or face other consequences about legal issues. If your computer has been blocked by Policia Departamento Cibercrime Ukash message, please ignore what it says. Even though it has a convincing appearance with government seal and symbol, it is not associated with any legal authorities. This is a scam designed with an aim to scare innocent users and then collect money from them. Things displayed on the blocked message saying that you have done something illegal like spreading pornographic files, watching porn or violating copyrights are not real at all.
