'Cyber Command of Florida' Ransomware, also known as 'Cyber Command of Florida' Virus, is a computer infection, which targets PC users in Florida, USA. 'Cyber Command of Florida' Ransomware is distributed to infected computers with the help a Trojan Urausy. 'Cyber Command of Florida' Ransomware shows a false full-screen pop-up image/alert 'Attention! Your computer has been blocked up for safety reasons' allegedly coming from the local security authority in an effort to fool victimized Internet users into believing they have performed cybercrime activities. The misleading pop-up notification illustrated by 'Cyber Command of Florida' Ransomware on the screen of the corrupted machine declares that the computer is blocked because the PC user has been performing illicit activities. The fake pop-up warning message used by 'Cyber Command of Florida' Ransomware is created by the Trojan Urausy, which locks the victimized computer and asks to pay a so-called fine of 300 dollars via MoneyPak or MoneyGram to unlock the PC. However, the paid ransom won't enable affected PC user to restore access to their computers. Do not rely on any information displayed by the intimidating pop-up warning message used by 'Cyber Command of Florida' Ransomware, and pay the so-called fine. Use a reputable anti-malware program to uninstall 'Cyber Command of Florida' Ransomware from the attacked computer.
