Buma Stemra Virus Uncovered as a Ransom Message and Money Extortion Tool used by Hackers

Aug. 23, 2012 - PRLog -- Buma Stemra Virus is an illegitimate ransom message that asks computer users to pay a fine for supposed illegal activities. Buma Stemra Virus is somewhat similar to other ransom threats, such as Ukash Virus or the infamous FBI Moneypak Ransomware.

Buma Stemra Virus has its own agenda, created by cybercrooks, to extort money from unsuspecting computer users. This process is done over a message interface that resembles a legitimate Buma Stemra payment processing site. Buma Stemra is, however, a legitimate entity that processes payments mainly for those in the Dutch community. Based in the Netherlands, the Buma Stemra organization attempts to protect the rights of musicians and composers. The Buma Stemra Virus is one that uses this entity, to basically use money extortion techniques.

Buma Stemra Virus may ask that PC users pay up a fine of 50 euros. Usually, Buma Stemra Virus will lock up a PC and prevent access to some applications or even the internet. In such a situation, the Buma Stemra Virus offers users to pay up the 50 Euros to unlock their PC. Unfortunately, by paying up the fee, their PC is not unlocked.

A new Buma Stemra Virus removal report released by ENigmaSoftware.com, which can be found at http://www.enigmasoftware.com/bumastemravirus-removal/, has the necessary tools to remove the Buma Stemra Virus altogether. In removing Buma Stemra Virus, PC users will unlock their system and restore it to normal operating conditions. No longer will Buma Stemra Virus be able to lock up the computer after a PC user following the recommendations on the Buma Stemra Virus removal report.

Let it be known, Buma Stemra Virus is a scam, and PC users should never take its deceptive message for face value. During the process of removing Buma Stemra Virus with an antimalware tool, PC users will have a chance to detect and remove other related malware threats as well.
