Latvijas Valsts Policija Virus

Also Known As: Informacijas Centrs Ransomware
Damage level: Severe

What is Latvijas Valsts Policija?

The Latvijas Valsts Policija message blocks computer screens demanding payment of a 50 LVL or 100 Euro fine. This is a scam, a ransomware infection, which attempts to trick unsuspecting PC users (predominantly from Latvia) into paying a bogus fine for supposed law violations.

Neither Latvijas Valsts Policija nor any other international authority or organization use such messages to collect fines for any law violations. Notice that paying this fine using Ukash or PaySafeCard services is equivalent to sending your money to cyber criminals.

This message has no connection with genuine authorities and is a direct consequence of Trojan infections. This particular ransomware originates from a family called Reveton and targets PC users predominantly from Latvia.

These screen lockers are localized - computer users from different counties see adapted variants of this message as if delivered by various local authorities. For example, PC users from Canada see this message in English as if sent by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The Latvijas Valsts Policija message locks computer screens and is a scam which should not be trusted. This message exploits the name and graphics of Latvia's police, 'EC3 Europol' and 'Informacijas Centrs'. Ransomware from the Reveton family often infiltrates users' computers using 'exploit kits' capable of exploiting any detected security vulnerabilities.

Localisation of these deceptive messages is possible due to the capability of the ransomware infection to detect computer IP addresses. If you observe this message on your computer screen, use the removal guide provided to eliminate this scam.
