POLIISI Tietoverkkorikos Tutkinnan Yksikkö Virus

Also Known As: Tietoverkkorikos Tutkinnan Yksikkö Ransomware
Damage level: Severe

What is POLIISI Tietoverkkorikos Tutkinnan Yksikkö?

The Finland Pollisi message blocks the user's computer screen and demands payment of a 100 Euro fine within 72 hours for alleged law violations. This is a scam and should not be trusted.

The message is not related to the Finnish police, it is a ransomware virus created by cyber criminals whose main purpose is to steal money from unsuspecting PC users using devious means, including screen-blocking messages.

Paying the fine as demanded by the POLIISI Tietoverkkorikos Tutkinnan Yksikkö message using Ukash or PaySafeCard is equivalent to sending your 100 Euros to cyber criminals.

Computer users should be aware that neither the Finnish police, nor any other authority or organization, internationally, use screen-blocking messages to collect fines for any law violations. If you observe a message requesting payment of a fine using Ukash or PaySafeCard, your PC is infiltrated with a ransomware virus.

POLIISI Tietoverkkorikos Tutkinnan Yksikkö virus

This particular threat originates from a family called "Flimrans". Deceptive messages employed by this ransomware family are localized - cyber criminals designed the software with capabilities to detect the IP address of the computer targeted for infection.

Using this technique, ransomware viruses from this family are able to present PC users with localized variants of the fake screen-blocking messages. The Pollisi message "Tietokonenne on tehty vaarattomaksi vähintään yhdestä alla mainituista syistä" is a scam.

If you see this message on your computer, do not pay any fines. The correct way to deal with this ransomware virus is to eliminate it from your PC.

The POLIISI Tietoverkkorikos Tutkinnan Yksikkö ransomware virus targets PC users from Finland, however, computer users from different countries are also targeted using variants of the fake messages.

For example, users from Sweden observe this message as if sent by Polisen Enheten för databrott, users from Italy, as if sent from Polizia Di Stato, and users from the USA, as if sent by the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section.

Cyber criminals use various methods to distribute their ransomware viruses including infected email messages, malicious websites, and drive-by downloads.

To protect your computer, use legitimate antivirus and anti-spyware programs. If your computer is already infected with Pollisi ransomware, do not pay any fines. Use the removal guide provided to eliminate this scam.
