Help! I can’t access explorer anymore. This Windows Defence Unit stops me to do anything on my laptop. It says that my computer has many viruses and threats. However, I can’t switch to another anti-virus program on my computer to have a double check. Does it block my computer for the safety? And I am asked to pay for this program so that it can help me remove those threats. Should I pay?
Brief Introduction to This Program
When you can see Windows Defence Unit on your computer, please do not trust it at all. It is not a legit anti-virus program. Recently, a lot of computers get infected by this virus. Why we call it a virus? Because it has the same traits with other fake programs like Windows Protection Booster, Windows AntiVirus Tool. They all come from fake antispyware family and are classified as computer threats by computer experts. However, many people still believe that this program is a useful protection tool. Hackers who design this fake program can also forge a professional description for it to convince people. Cyber hackers can publish this fake program on some websites for people to download, and due to the name of this rogue program, it is much easier for it to spread to thousands of computers than other computer viruses. Also, this fake program can pretend itself as an optional program in other free programs. Once people install the infected free program into their computers, people can be cheated to install this fake at the same time. Read the rest of this post »

I have a lock screen by the Police Department University of California message on my Windows computer. It says I must pay a fee of 200$ to release my computer screen and avoid other legal consequences. After looking online I realized that this is actually a scam virus. Lucky for me, I have not entered the payment out of scare. But I can’t unlock my PC from the Police Department ransomware screen. It always reappears every time I restart the computer. What do I do to get my Windows unlocked from this scam warning?
Police Department University of California Virus Locked Computer – How to Unlock?
The Police Department University of California pop up is a newly released variant of the MoneyPack virus that is designed to scam innocent computer users. By displaying a lock screen on your computer and accusing you of violating certain laws or regulations due to some of your online activities, the Police Department lock page is trying to get as many computer users to pay the 200$ fine as possible to unlock their computer screens. This is reported to be a huge cyber scam that has attacked computer users (including Windows and Mac OS) around the world in various appearances with different amount of fines/currencies. Many users would be scammed by such fake police warning message out of scare. We believe paying 200$ fine via GreenDot MoneyPack will not unlock your computer screen from this fake Police Dept. University of California lock page but will only help benefit unknown hackers on the internet. To unlock PC successfully from this lock page, we need to get rid of the ransomware program from computer.

Recently, many people’s computers get infected by Windows Protection Tool. Why we use “infected”, because this program is classified as rogue anti-virus program which is not a legit program worthy for people to trust.

Hackers who design this virus can concoct the professional functions of it and publish this virus to many websites for people to download. Once unwitting people download and install it into their computes, the disaster comes. Also, this virus can also pretend as a useful optional program for people to install when people try to install other free programs. Read the rest of this post »
