The 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware is a fake Police Trojan designed to hold hostage the PCs of Croatian residents, demanding a ransom fee be paid to remove its lockdown. SpywareRemove.com malware experts were quickly able to verify that the ‘Ravnateljstvo Policije’ Ransomware does not have the support of Croatia’s police (or ‘policije’) and no problems with attacking computers that have never been used for any illegal activities, contrary to the faux legal text in its pop-up alert. Police Ransomware Trojans like the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware infections can be dealt with through the patient application of reliable security techniques and anti-malware programs, which will let you disable the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware's Windows lockdown and then delete the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware without any need to pay a fake fee.
The 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware: a Criminal Police Fine without Any Police – or Any Criminal
The 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware configures your Registry to allow the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware to launch whenever Windows starts – which conveniently allows the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware to display its fake criminal alert as the first thing you see after your operating system is booted. Although the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware's alert is copied from a broad template in use by other fake Police Trojans of its family, the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware also has received some minor changes to make the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware relevant to Croatian victims, including an appropriate language translation and visual references to Croatian law enforcement organizations. In spite of these trappings, the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware does not have any real affiliation with the Croatian government, and SpywareRemove.com malware experts stress that you're not under any legal obligation to pay the ransom demanded by the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware.
The 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware's pop-up warning claims that the authorities have locked your computer to prevent its further use in Internet-based crimes like viewing underage pornography, but the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware does not attempt to detect these crimes and is, itself, an illegal Trojan. Even though the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware's pop-up alert makes it look as if you're under a strict time limit for paying the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware's fine and restoring your computer, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers don't see any drawbacks to ignoring the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware's ransom demands and treating the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware like any other piece of malware to be removed promptly.
Blocking a Windows-Blocking Trojan to Minimize Any Harm Done to an Innocent Computer
Since the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware may just as easily attack 'innocent' PCs as 'guilty' ones, its legal threats should be ignored in favor of using common security techniques to disable the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware's system lockdown freely. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have found particularly good with results with booting infected PCs through such safe sources as removable devices, which will bypass the Registry exploits that the 'Ravnateljstvo Policije' Ransomware uses to launch itself.
