Do you know what Politia Romana Virus is?
Politia Romana Virus is a computer infection that terrorizes innocent users into paying their money for something that cannot be done. Politia Romana Virus is actually a ransomware application, and as such it locks your computer by displaying a fraudulent security message across your screen. Since this infection targets Romanian users, the message is displaying in Romanian and it carries a few official symbols of Romanian Police force. However, this ransomware has nothing in common with the law enforcement agencies.
Politia Romana Virus is directly related to Ukash virus group, and it looks exactly the same as Slovenská Polícia Virus, Türk Polisi Virus, Ministere de L’interieur Virus and other similar infections from the same family (except for the localized languages).
