‘Jandarma Genel Komutanligi’ Ransomware

The 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware is a fake Police Trojan targeting residents of Turkey with desktop-blocking pop-up warnings that are crafted to look as if they originated from the Gendarmerie General Command (or Turkish Gendermarie). The 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware's attacks inevitably portray the affected computer as being punished with a general system lockdown for crimes like viewing child pornography or breaking copyright laws, but the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware's attacks are launched on vulnerable PCs at random and don't have the backing of the Turkish government. Because the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware usually will limit your use of other software, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend making an effort to disable the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware before removing the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware with appropriate anti-malware tools.

The 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware and a Pop-Up Worth Tearing Down

The 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware displays warning messages that are intended to look like communications from a branch of the Turkish Armed Forces, and display some basic emblems and symbols related to this ruse, as well as displaying all relevant text in Turkish. However, the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware is not a legal program and doesn't have any legal authority to block your computer, regardless of its claims. The 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware's pop-up, which is designed to be unclosable and to block your desktop, actually is little different from a standard browser pop-up – although its border and control bar both have been removed.

The essential details of the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware's warning messages, which are copied from the previous attacks of Police Ransomware Trojans of other countries, are that your computer supposedly has been used to commit crimes that require a monetary payment transmitted through the Ukash service. This is one of the many tell-tale signs of the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware being a Police Ransomware Trojan rather than a legitimate program – since Ukash is one of the favored ransom methods for similar criminal Trojans. SpywareRemove.com malware experts find no benefits from actually bothering to pay the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware's ransom and discourage it at all opportunities regardless of how much the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware interferes with your PC usage.

The 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware's pop-up usually will prevent you from accessing most of Windows, including other programs that will be needed to make sure that you've deleted the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware safely. To get around this problem, SpywareRemove.com malware experts have found booting from removable devices like USB thumb drives to be very effective – both for the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware and similar automatically-launching PC threats.The 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware doesn't distribute or install itself without the aid of other PC threats, and you should be alert to the potential for additional infections besides the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware during its attacks.

As noted earlier, the 'Jandarma Genel Komutanligi' Ransomware is a Police Ransomware Trojan designed for Turkish residents. However, most of its details have been cloned from other members of its family, which aren't confined to Turkey or even the Middle East in general. As examples of the variability involved, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts also point out such related fake Police Trojans as the 'Polícia Judiciária de Portugal' Ransomware, the 'Serviciul pentru Intervenţii şi Acţiuni Speciale' Ransomware, the 'Služba Kriminální Policie a Vyšetřování' Ransomware, the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware, the 'Nemzeti Nyomozó Iroda' Ransomware, the 'Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police' Virus, the 'Ministry of Public Safety New Zealand' Virus, the 'Dansk Rigspolitiet' Ransomware, the 'FEDPOL BundesKriminalPolizei' Ransomware, the 'Police Judiciaire Fédérale' Ransomware, the 'Arma dei Carabinieri' Ransomware and the 'Unité Spéciale de la Police' Ransomware.
