Symptoms or Harmfulness of United States Courts Virus $300 Scam

Once your computer was hit by the scam then your screen has been locked fully. The lock screen message claims that the computer is being blocked because copyright violations have been tracked back to the computers IP address, as well as spam email complaints and even claims of distributing pornography. The message is tailored to the user based on their geographic location, but an example of a warning message variation can be seen here, showing why so many users get scared into paying the fine when they realize their PC has been locked by United States Courts virus. Example warning message:

YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN LOCKED
Criminal Case NO. 4:12CV072011
Illegally downloaded material (MP3’s, Movies or Software) has been located on your computer.

Generally speaking, the United States Courts virus completely locks down the computer and there is no way to remove the block or even access any other windows or files while the virus is installed. The warning message displays the users IP address and location to scare them and if the computer has a webcam installed it has the ability to hijack that and display a live video feed within the message. This is just another way that they attempt to scare the user into thinking this is a real serious violation and they hope that they immediately run out to the store and purchase the $300 Greendot MoneyPak card.

The victim tells :”There is a United States Courts page that appears once I logged in my computer and says I have 48 hours to pay 300 dollars or else my computer will be locked. Sometimes it says i have to pay 400 dollars or get fined but it wont let me go to my homepage it only comes up to a webpage”. Can u be fined for looking at child porno? The virus states that once the payment is verified the block will be removed and the user will once again have access to his or her computer. This is not accurate, as the hackers will never remove the block. Once they receive payment the will never be heard from again.

This ransomware is widely spread and fool computer users with its sneaky tactic. The hackers get a lot of computer users to believe that they did in fact break the law and they figure that quickly paying the $300 will help to keep them out of trouble. They pay the fake fine out of fear and since the United States Courts Virus requires them to pay it through a MoneyPak there is no way for them to trace the payment or reverse the transaction once they realize that they have been a victim of this virus. Indeed, it won’t make you any comfortable or help you unlock your computer automatically after you go through the payment to the fake fine supposedly claimed by the United State Department. All information, including your IP address, the specification of laws you are claimed to violate and steps to fulfill the payment to unlock your computer, etc. is totally false and fraudulent, only to collect fake fine from unwary users and attack their computers to further pilfer sensitive information from them without any consent.
