Oficina Virtual de Denuncias virus removal

Oficina Virtual de Denuncias virus is a Spanish variant of a ransomware infection that masquerades as local law enforcement agency and tells you that youve been caught accessing illicit material online. Its a clever decision that already works perfectly fine in most English speaking countries, so obviously it should work just fine in other countries as well. In such way the ransom becomes a fine. Infected computer becomes unusable until you pay the ransom, and we’re speaking about 100 euros or even more. It depends, but usually scammers ask to pay either 100 euros in Europe and 100 dollars in the United States and also Canada.



Oficina Virtual de Denuncias virus is distributed in various ways. Recently, weve got numerous PCs infected with the TrojanDownloader:Win32/Dofoil.R malware. Its a Trojan horse that silently downloads malicious applications without consent. This could include the installation of additional malware components to an affected computer according to Microsoft. This could be anything, ransomware, spyware or even rootkits. This Trojan horse was first detected this year, back in June or July if Im not mistaken. I couldnt say it was used to distributed ransomware until recent months. Now, cyber criminals use this Trojan horse to distribute Oficina Virtual de Denuncias virus and similar ransomware as well.

Once this Trojan horse executes additional Spanish ransom ware components, affected users computers become unusable. The ransomware component displays completely false notification about illicit material found on your computer. It uses Spanish police logo as a part of the scam to add more trustworthiness. Cyber crooks have also implemented a flash component that can access your web camera, if you have one of course, and display either your face or part of your room. Im sure that this web cam component rarely works but when it does it can scare the living hell out of someone. The fake Oficina Virtual de Denuncias message says:
El ordenador suyo está bloqueado por el sistema d control informativo automatizado q está relacionado con la policía.
The ransom can be paid using either Pay Safe Card or Ukash. El ordenador suyo está bloqueado ukash is usually what users of an infected computers search for when trying to remove this virus. Both Ukash and Pay Safe Card vouchers are available to buy on various stores around the country. Nevertheless, DO NOT pay the ransom. The fake notification has nothing to do with the local authorities and besides, youve probably didnt do anything wrong whatsoever. What is more, Ukash and Pay Safe Card cannot dispute the charges. This is one of the reasons why scammers are using these services instead of Master Card and Visa payments processors.
