Police Central E-crime Unit (PCEU) Ransomware message
PRLog (Press Release) - Aug. 24, 2012 - Police Central E-crime Unit (PCEU) Ransomware is a rather confusing message that appears across the full computer screen on PCs infected with this vicious threat. Police Central E-crime Unit (PCEU) Ransomware appears to look like a full web page with threatening language of how the computer has been locked due to ‘violation of the laws of the United Kingdom’. Even though some computers affected by this are not located in the UK, they still will get this message or some variation of it.

Police Central E-crime Unit (PCEU) Ransomware is similar to other fake messages, such as from the Ukash Virus. The Police Central E-crime Unit (PCEU) Ransomware will even attempt to utilize the legitimate Ukash payment system to collect the ransom fee of $50 or more.

Police Central E-crime Unit (PCEU) Ransomware message itself may also read out threats about how the IP address of the infected system was detected to visit websites containing pornography and child pornography. All of these assumptions are fake and should never be taken for face value.

Because Police Central E-crime Unit (PCEU) Ransomware may actually lock up a computer and prevent access to some programs, PC users will want to remove the malware or spyware causing this issue. Removal of Police Central E-crime Unit (PCEU) Ransomware is normally performed with an antimalware tool. The newly released Police Central E-crime Unit (PCEU) Ransomware removal report at http://www.enigmasoftware.com/policecentralecrimeunitpceu... provides additional information about this specific threat and resources designed to remove it altogether.

In any given case where PC users notice a fake alert or ransom message such as Police Central E-crime Unit (PCEU) Ransomware appears on the screen, they should take immediate action to use an antimalware program to remove the threat before it makes there system virtually useless for performing normal functions.
