Royal Canadian Mounted Police Virus - How to remove

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Virus

Royal Canadian Mounted Police virus is a ransomware that belongs to Urasy family. It works very similar to other this type of Trojans. Once a computer is infected, the virus blocks its screen completely with a message displayed. Usually the blocking does not happen at once after the infection. It might take more than 5 minutes for the lock screen to appear. Royal Canadian Mounted Police virus is programmed to do so in order not to track the source of the infection.

The message shown is supposed to be from Royal Canadian Mounted Police together with International Cyber Security Protection Alliance. It includes logos of both organizations. Moreover, you will see a logo of your own antivirus program at the header of the fake warning: “Supported and Protected by (logo of detected antivirus)”. This malware is programmed to detect antivirus that was installed to an infected computer. If none is active, the message will have a Windows logo shown. For the blocking to look even more legitimate and convincing extracts from laws related to Copyright and Related Rights Law are given:

The only aim of Royal Canadian Mounted Police virus tricks is to swindle peoples’ money away. The fine is as big as $100 CAD. One is supposed to pay it using Ukash or PaySafeCard. The blocking message gives you even the places where to purchase PINs. Such prepaid payment method is being used because it is particularly difficult to trace the money after it is paid.

  1. Pourquoi avez-vous bloqué mon ordinateur? Je n’ai rien fais d’illégal. Je suis allé sur un site porno offert au publique. Dans “recherche”. Il y a plus peut-être de 200 films sur ce site. Je ne sais pas tout ce que ces films comportent. Vous voulez me faire payer une amande pour avoir été voir des films pornos???? Si vous ne débloquez pas mon ordi je devrai allé voir mon député Marc Garneau et expliquer la situation. Ce n’est pas une menace, ce sera une constation. Je me pose sérieusement des questions sur votre organisation et sur et la pertinence de votre travail. Vous vous attaquer et faites des problèmes non aux bonnes personnes. Oui je regarde de la porno quelques fois, non je ne suis pas un pédophile et je désaprouve ce genre de comportement TOTALEMENT. Je termine en vous disant que je suis majeure.

  2. Vous ne répondez pas, vous préférez faire vos petits coups en hypocrite par en arrière payé par nos taxes et impôts et envoyer des virus dans les systèmes ordinateurs des gens. Il y a des documents qui m’ont pris 5 ans de travails dans mon ordinateur. Si je perds ces documents ou ces documents sont détruits je vais savoir où aller frapper. Quelle belle police…Bande d’hypocrite!
