Description of Onevanilla Ransomware

Onevanilla Ransomware is an infection likely initiated by malicious advertisements. The virus is used to lock or restrict access to a Android system or internet browser using a full screen window or webpage that claims to contain a message from local government departments and other lawful authorities, similar to the FBI virus which is discovered in 2012. The message is always fraudulent and is never sent by any legitimate authority. It always tells victims that they have violate some laws because of watching some porn videos and their device have been lock. If they want to unlock their device, they will need to pay a big fine using inactivated vanilla or other ways like paysafecard. The victims will be told that if they don’t pay the fine, the police would come to their home and they will be accused. In addition, generally this virus will ask victims to pay in 24 hours or XXX days. If the victims don’t pay in time, they will also be accused. Thus if your phone or tablet gets infected by this virus, please keep your mind clear that it is just a scam virus that want to get money from you, just don’t believe it and don’t pay to it. What you need to do is to remove it from your device without delay.
