Uprava Kriminalistične Policije Ransomware Screenshot 1The 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware is a fake Police Trojan that blocks your desktop with fraudulent pop-up warnings to force you to pay a ransom through Paysafecard (an online cash-transferal company). Although the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware's attacks are specialized for victims within the borders of Slovenia, similar attacks by related fake Police Trojans have been observed by SpywareRemove.com malware experts for dozens of other countries around the world. Appropriate countermeasures to the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware's attacks include disabling 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware to regain access to all necessary security software, which may then be used to delete the the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware – without paying the ransom that the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware so dearly craves.

Don't Be Too Hasty to Assume that You're a Criminal Just On the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware's Say-So

Slovenia is, once again, under attack by new Police Ransomware Trojans that display alerts specific to its language and government, with the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware following close on the heels of similar PC threats like 'Nacionalni Preiskovalni Urad' Ransomware and the Ministrstvo Za Notranje Zadeve Policija Virus. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have, in particular, associated the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware with identical fake Police Trojans for other countries, although the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware does change its pop-up to be relevant to Slovenians in particular.

The 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware's pop-up alert displays automatically for any PC successfully compromised by the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware, and accuses the PC in question of being used for Internet-based criminal actions like breaking copyright laws. The 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware recommends paying a Paysafecard fine before any additional penalties are put into effect – and even goes so far as to initiate a countdown timer for an additional sense of urgency.

Despite these accusations, the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware can't back up its bluffs with any functions that really would monitor your Internet history or contact the authorities in case of your circumventing its attacks (something that SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend doing ASAP). Most importantly, you should recognize that the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware is not a lawful program issued by the Slovenian police or any other law-abiding institution – and that refusing to pay the 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware's ransom is both the safest and most legally correct reaction to 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware's attacks.

For the most direct means of bypassing this problem, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend booting through a clean source (such as a removable USB drive), which will put you in a position to use any appropriate security software to delete 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware without any further problems.

The 'Uprava Kriminalistične Policije' Ransomware only is of concern to residents of Slovenia.
