Police Virus is a group of trojans that display fake police alerts. The alerts target specific countries. In USA it will be FBI Ransomware alert, in UK - Metropolitan Police warning. In some cases a different institution will be used, for example, RIAA or Celas. What is typical for Police alert trojans is that they ask payment using pre-paid cards circulating in the particular country. Police Virus will ask you to pay for some illegal behavior: downloading movies, watching porn, or being infected. The PC will be blocked each reboot, although in many cases only one user account will be affected. This allows removing the trojan from other accounts with help of anti-malware programs like Spyhunter. To remove Police Virus, you should scan your PC from bootable CD or use USB drive to install anti-malware programs. You can also reboot your PC into safe mode and stop some versions of trojans using msconfig application. In some cases you will be required to clean registry too.
