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:	5

The '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.

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.
