Remove Ireland’s National Police Service virus – System Tips For Your Computer

Ireland’s National Police Service virus that some PCs in Ireland might catch today is a ransomware-type system hijacker, but there is no connection between the developers of this malware and the reputable Irish Police (also known as An Garda Síochána). The message that you face when your computer is locked by this fake Ireland’s National Police Service warning is the technique used by cyber hackers specifically for the purpose of prompting you into sharing funds with cyber frauds. The ransomware tells users that they have been found to spectate, distribute and promote illegal content over the Internet. The virus instructs users to effect the payment (ransom) as a forfeit and then promises to unlock the computer. Otherwise, the virus program says, the information about user’s “illegal” activity would be reported to Ireland’s National Police Service (An Garda Síochána). Do not panic! There is nothing to worry about if you haven’t ever done anything likw what you are being accused of. However, the virus completely blocked and disabled your PC with its scary warning. Your attempt to reboot the PC would be of no success. Same fake police notification would come up anyway and repeat the same thing about your supposed crimes for viewing the websites with the content violated by the Irish legislation. Surely, something must be done in order to unlock your system and get rid of this annoying desktop background that replaced your common desktop your PC had before the virus attack. Below is the quotation from the notification that the ransomware makers developed to appear on the infected computer.
