The 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware is a fake Police Trojan that displays fraudulent legal warnings to victims within the region of Mexico, and also blocks the affected operating system while doing so. Typical ransomware attacks claim to have the authority of the regional police force for whatever nation they happen to be attacking, and the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware enhances this scam by claiming that a fee must be paid within three days before legal charges are brought against you. However, malware experts haven't found any affiliation between the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware and the actual Mexican police force, and removing the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware from your PC with well-tested anti-malware strategies always should be preferred over paying the fee that the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware levies against you.
A Countdown to Poverty You Should Disregard
The 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware is part of an effectively continuous ransomware campaign against most of the globe, with previous targets including diverse nations like Ireland, Canada, United States, Australia, Britain, Germany and even some parts of South America. However, the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware's victims of choice are Mexican, and the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware formats its fraudulent police warning to be relevant to residents of Mexico through the use of Mexican Spanish and through the inclusion of that country's coat of arms.
The 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware displays its police alert automatically, but this pop-up provides erroneous information and always claims that your computer has been associated with software piracy and similar crimes – while completely disregarding your PC's actual online history. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers particularly emphasize that the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware does not have the authority of any legitimate police force behind the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware, any more than similar faux Police Trojans like .LPD BM.I Ransomware, Rikspolisstyrelsen Ransomware, Police Central e-crime Unit (PCEU) Ransomware, the FBI Cybercrime Division Virus, Polizia Penitenziaria Ransomware, the International Cyber Security Protection Alliance Virus, the United Kingdom Police Ukash Virus, the CIBS Pol Virus and Cheshire Police Authority Ransomware.
Getting the Fake Police Gone for Cheap
The 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware's main job is to funnel money to criminals by misleading you about its real nature, and, to this end, the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware blocks your access to other programs and claims that other penalties will arise if its fee isn't paid within a strict time limit. However, ignoring this time limit doesn't harm you or your computer, and there are no advantages to paying the illegal fee that the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware demands in its pop-up attacks.
Since the side effects of these ransomware infections usually may prevent you from using other applications that are required for removing the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware safely, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers consider booting a backup OS from a safe removable device to be the easiest way to disable the associated system lockdown. With that done, deleting the 'Policia Federal Mexico' Ransomware should be as easy as running a scan with your favorite anti-malware product.
