Policía Nacional del Ecuador Virus is another version of the very popular ransomware kind that will pretend to be the national police or organization and ask you to pay a certain amount of fine in order to unlock your computer. Because of its deceitful appearance, many computer users especially those from Ecuador have become very anxious and been tricked. Similar to the PCeU Virus and United States Department of Justice virus, this is just another version that mostly targets PC users from Ecuador. However, judging from experiences, this scam virus won’t stay in a certain place or area. With the ability to spread over different networks, computer users from different locations can also get stuck with this virus. It is the same situation as the well-known FBI Moneypak virus.

Because instead of sending the requested fines to the national account, you are sending money to PC scammers who create this Policía Nacional del Ecuador Virus!

I am just wondering how I get rid of the Metropolitan Police Virus warning method from my Macbook, it was on my Mac screen on the Internet and it came up with my location which was wrong and saying I was sharing indecent photos of children and saying I had to pay ￡100 I screenshot the message and then it came up with another one asking me to put a code it so I canceled it. My computer was blocked by Metropolitan Police virus and it said that i was copyrighting something, or on pornographic websites that I have never done before. The Met Police virus asked me to pay £100 within 48 hours via Ukash to get the computer unlocked. It totally frozen my computer and I cannot do anything on it. I didn’t do anything illegal, I just wondered how would this thing happen? Is it real? Will the metropolitan police really block my computer and come to my house to put me in jail? How do I get rid of it?
Metropolitan Police Virus (also called Your Personal Computer has been blocked Virus ) is another variant of infamous Ukash virus that blocks targeted computer systems and tries to get money from their users. Don’t be fooled by this virus. It is a scam that uses the name of Metropolitan Police and blames you for breaking the law by watching and distributing pornographic content files. Just like other ransomware, it tries its best to scare innocent users and extort money from them. Once installed, it changes your Windows registry and adds its malicious files to run at start-up, thus whenever you try to log on into your Windows operating system or even in safe mode, you will get a virus page instead of your desktop icons saying that “Your Personal Computer has been blocked” and “THE WORK OF YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN SUSPENDED ON THE GROUNDS OF Unauthorized Cyberactivity.” It also shows some screenshots from the webcam on the virus page and makes users into thinking their actions can be recorded and transferred to the Police database. However, please don’t believe in that because it is a hoax and none of official institutions will use such methods as blocking computer’s screen remotely.
