Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:

Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.

Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.

Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.

Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.

% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

The Magyar Rendőrség Virus or Hungarian Police Virus, rather than being sent by the police, is a ransomware Trojan that's designed for the extortion of money from frightened and deceived victims. One of many examples of the Reveton family of ransomware Trojan-based PC threats that are focusing on most of Europe, the Magyar Rendőrség Virus displays a borderless pop-up window that threatens you with jail time for various PC-based crimes. However, the Magyar Rendőrség Virus's way out of this dire fate – paying a fee through a retailer-purchasable voucher – is merely Magyar Rendőrség Virus's way of stuffing the pockets of its criminal coders. If you see a Magyar Rendőrség Virus pop-up on your screen, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers can't recommend a better solution than disabling the Magyar Rendőrség Virus with typical anti-malware techniques and then scanning your PC with appropriate anti-malware programs to delete your Magyar Rendőrség Virus harmlessly.

Why the Magyar Rendőrség Virus is Hungry for Hungarian Money

The Magyar Rendőrség Virus is a clone of other recent members of the Reveton family of ransomware Trojans, and like its brethren, requires you to mistake the Magyar Rendőrség Virus for an actual legal alert in order for its ransom scam to succeed. A Magyar Rendőrség Virus's primary attack is to display a borderless HTML pop-up that appears as soon as your computer restarts (which it may be set to do automatically during the Magyar Rendőrség Virus's installation). This pop-up claims to be sent by the Hungarian police and mentions computer crimes that your PC supposedly has been used to commit – such as viewing illegal websites or media.

The Magyar Rendőrség Virus then requests that you pay a high ransom fee through a paid voucher such as Ukash, although SpywareRemove.com malware research team has found this to be unnecessary – since the Magyar Rendőrség Virus isn't capable of contacting the authorities and doesn't have any legal standing with which to do so in the first place. You should ignore the ransom demand of any Magyar Rendőrség Virus, although the actual Magyar Rendőrség Virus infection is a noteworthy security risk for your computer that should be exterminated quickly.

Like other members of the Reveton family, the Magyar Rendőrség Virus displays a regional coat of arms (for Hungary, in its case), your IP address and your webcam input if any is available. Other Reveton Trojans will use details specific to other countries; examples that SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have identified lately include France's France Ministère de l'Intérieur Virus, Turkey's Türk Polisi Virus, Slovakia's Slovenská Polícia VirusSlovenská Polícia Virus, Austria's Polizei Control Department Virus, Finland's Poliisi Tietoverkkorikos Tutkinnan Yksikkö Ransomware, Slovenia's Polizia Slovena Ransomware and Romania's Politia Romana Virus.

Everything Else that the Magyar Rendőrség Virus Wants to Steal from You

A Magyar Rendőrség Virus's attacks aren't restricted to just displaying fake pop-ups. Unfortunately, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers have found it likely that a Magyar Rendőrség Virus infection also will block you from using other programs, particularly security-related ones. Disabling a Magyar Rendőrség Virus may be required before you can begin removing a Magyar Rendőrség Virus infection, although this can be done through either Safe Mode or booting your OS from a USB device.

Because Magyar Rendőrség Virus also may include optional components, such as spyware-based DLL files, SpywareRemove.com malware experts don't recommend that you try to delete the Magyar Rendőrség Virus without any assistance from suitable anti-malware programs or PC security professionals.
