Latvijas Policijas Virus Ransomware

Posted: November 8, 2012

Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:

Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.

Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.

Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.

Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.

% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

Threat Level:	2/10
Infected PCs:	9

As Reveton Trojans and Ukash Viruses creep eastward towards fresh targets, the Latvijas Policijas Virus is one of the latest examples of a new ransomware Trojan variant that SpywareRemove.com malware experts have uncovered. Like its relatives, Latvijas Policijas Virus displays a country-specific legal alert, claims that your computer has been used for online crimes and insists that transfer money via a voucher to pay for your wrongdoings. Because the Latvijas Policijas Virus isn't affiliated with Latvia's law enforcement and can't penalize your PC (at least, any more than the Latvijas Policijas Virus is already doing), you should use appropriate anti-malware strategies to disable and then remove your Latvijas Policijas Virus with anti-malware software.

The Many Justifications for Ignoring the Latvijas Policijas Virus's Piercing Siren

Installation methods for Latvijas Policijas Virus and similar ransomware Trojans tend to exploit drive-by-downloads, Trojan droppers and disguised links to malicious sites. While you may not be able to tell when Latvijas Policijas Virus is being installed without your consent, an actual Latvijas Policijas Virus infection quickly will become obvious. The Latvijas Policijas Virus displays a fake alert with your IP address, various Latvia-specific imagery and a capture of your webcam feed (if applicable), all to back up Latvijas Policijas Virus's claim that your computer has been used to access or distribute illegal online material.

This alert claims that your PC has been locked by the local authorities and must be unlocked through a ransom payment process (using either Ukash or Paysafecard). SpywareRemove.com malware experts strongly recommend that you avoid spending this money since the Latvijas Policijas Virus isn't programmed to respond to any supposed 'unlock' codes and has zero connections with any law enforcement agency. The Latvijas Policijas Virus's warning message, a screen-wide and borderless HTML pop-up, also has the side effect of preventing you from using the Windows interface or other programs.

The Real Penalty that the Latvijas Policijas Virus Has the Power (Albeit not the Legal Authority) to Enact

Contrary to the claims in its pop-up, the Latvijas Policijas Virus cannot contact the police or issue forth additional penalties even if you do refuse to pay its ransom. However, the Latvijas Policijas Virus is capable of blocking other programs, changing Internet Explorer's security settings, injecting its code into unrelated processes and even downloading other malware. As a ransomware Trojan that impedes your ability to do anything whatsoever with the compromised PC, the Latvijas Policijas Virus should be removed on sight and by a good anti-malware scanner.

To access any blocked programs to delete a Latvijas Policijas Virus infection, you may be required to boot into Safe Mode or use other techniques to disable the Latvijas Policijas Virus. Although the Latvijas Policijas Virus is designed to attack Latvian PCs (identified by their IP addresses), SpywareRemove.com malware experts also have seen similar ransomware Trojans attacking countries throughout the world. Examples include the Politia Romana Virus, the Polizei Control Department Virus, the Poliisi Tietoverkkorikos Tutkinnan Yksikkö Ransomware, the France Ministère de l'Intérieur Virus, the Türk Polisi Virus, Polizia Slovena Ransomware and the Slovenská Polícia VirusSlovenská Polícia Virus.
