AFP Crime Commission Ransomware, also known as AFP Crime Commission Virus, is a malware infection, which is found as ransomware. AFP Crime Commission Ransomware propagates with the help of the Urausy Trojan to infected computers through system vulnerabilities, malicious websites or spam email attachments. When installed on the affected computer, the Trojan Urausy blocks the computer and covers the desktop with a fake legal full-screen image/warning message. AFP Crime Commission Virus displays a pop-up alert, which allegedly comes from the Australian government agency called the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), AFP. Crime Commission (ACC), Royal Australian Corps of Military Police, and Interpol. The scary pop-up warning message of AFP Crime Commission Virus blames attacked computer users for violating certain laws. The misleading alert of AFP Crime Commission Ransomware declares that the computer user has been downloading and distributing pornography and copyrighted content to other PC users or visiting dangerous websites. AFP Crime Commission Ransomware then demands a ransom of AUD $100 from computer users to be paid within 48 hours via Ukash or Paysafecard to regain access to the blocked computer. Do not be intimidated by AFP Crime Commission Ransomware and pay the ransom because it is an online scam generated by cybercriminals to extort money from gullible PC users.
