Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware Screenshot 1A Police Trojan that targets PC users within the border of Latvia, the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware creates desktop-blocking warning messages that appear to be from that country's police, but actually are designed by criminals who are hopeful of collecting fake legal 'fines.' Besides its corresponding police alert, the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware also prevents you from using most other applications or accessing your desktop by closing the pop-up. The Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware is a confirmed variant of other Police Ransomware, and SpywareRemove.com malware experts encourage removing the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware without paying its fine – in most cases, by using anti-malware products to delete the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware after you've prevented the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware from launching.

Pulling Over for the the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware's Digital Ticket

The Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware, like other Police Trojans from its family, automatically displays a fake police alert that includes personal details about the nation the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware specializes in attacking (Latvia), as well as select personal details about your PC, such as your IP address. This alert makes accusations of your committing multiple types of online crimes and asks you to pay a fee while the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware prevents you from accessing your desktop, including other applications.

The Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware's alert may be designed to look something like an actual police warning, but actually is a criminal-designed pop-up that's similar to those from the France Ministère de l’Intérieur Virus, the Policía Nacional del Ecuador Ransomware, Politie Nederland Ransomware, the POLIISI Osasto Tietoverkkorikollisuuden Virus, the Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü Ransomware, Malta Police Force MPF Ransomware, the Türk Polisi Virus, the Polizei Control Department Virus, Polizia Slovena Ransomware, et cetera. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers advise anyone with the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware-infected PC to ignore its pretensions of being a legal warning and resolve not to pay its fine, which shouldn't be considered a viable means of unlocking your computer.

Taking the Crook in Cops' Clothes to the Cleaners

The Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware's goal is to reap profits from the unwary through Ukash, but there actually is another way to attend to the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware and its fake police warning. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers normally have found Safe Mode to be sufficient for disabling basic PC threats like the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware that start automatically, but other security techniques (such as restarting your PC from any USB drive) also can be useful.

Launching Windows without also launching the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware's pop-up is your first step towards removing the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware. The second simply is to use whatever anti-malware software you trust to delete the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware, which shouldn't be considered to be substantially different from any other type of Trojan. Since the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware isn't connected to Latvia's police in any way, doing this, even without paying the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware's fine, never will result in any consequential legal problems.
