Your computer has been locked. How to unlock?

The people who have invented UKASH virus family are very rich now, because they are succeeded to fool millions of law-abiding Internet users. The family of notorious Ukash viruses seems to be a profitable business, because new samples of ransomware programs are released almost every day. This article is aimed to open the eyes of millions of Internet users - police authorities do not collect fines in such way. They do not have a jurisdiction that would allow them to lock computers.

If a computer is hijacked by one of these lockers, the notification with the similar content is displayed.

Your computer has been locked! Illegally downloaded materials (MP3’s, Movies or Software) have been located on your computer.By downloading, those were reproduced, thereby involving a criminal offense under Section 106 of the Copyright Act. The downloading of copyrighted material via the Internet or music-sharing networks is illegal and is in accordance with Section 106 of the Copyright Act subject to a fine of imprisonment for a penalty of up to 3 years. Furthermore, possession of illegally downloaded material is punishable under Section 184 paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code and may also lead to the confiscation of the computer, with which the files were downloaded.
