You have violated World Declaration on non-proliferation of child pornography. You are accused of committing the crime envisaged by Article 161 of New Zealand criminal law”. I might say that’s only patially right,  you may watch porn online and download it which caused you to get this virus, but, the rest of it is not true. You may get this virus through several ways, just like computers, cell phones could also get infected with New Zealand E-crime Lab virus by malicious websites, or legitimate websites that have been hacked, once you phone get this virus, you phone will be completely locked and you can do nothing about it. Another way you may get this is that you saw some Apps while you surfed the internet on you phone, you found it’s interesting, so you downloaded the Apps but not from the proper resource such as Android market. If you are familiar with FBI virus and GVU virus, then you’ll not be surprise by E-Crime Lab virus, they are  tricks designed to blackmail people by using fake information and the name of other fake department. After that, this ransomware will threat you to pay NZD $100 through recommended payment scheme, then it will randomly give you a so-called unlock code which will not help at all.

New Zealand E-crime Lab Virus may also use spam email messages to spread a copy of the malicious code. These email probably contain many malicious links which you don’t know that’s dangerous, and it also persuades innocent user to open and download it. Once you follow what it told you to do, it automatically runs a script that forces affected phone to download and execute malware from a remote server. Most of the users got this virus is because they can’t resist being curious as to what the email is referring to – and click on a link embedded inside the email. For example, after you click the link, the website will trick the users into install some disguised regular Apps, but they are actually bogus update for Adobe Flash Player or another piece of APP.

Well, I can tell you for sure, if you still hold this conception for long, your phone is not far from infection, what’s worse, your phone will end up being taken advantage by cyber criminals.

All the virus will spread over the Internet as this is the most effective way and only way to let PCs and tablets get infection. Anyway, few people would understand how would their phones got infected by this scam virus. Where did the users get this in the first place? The inventor of this virus will hide this infection into many websites that have been hacked, and mostly phone will get this infection by illegal or edge ball websites, such as porn material, online poker game, unknown Apps.
