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.

Threat Level:	2/10
Infected PCs:	33

First Seen:	March 12, 2013

The Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus is a Police Trojan that attacks PC users within the borders of Slovakia by displaying an inaccurate legal warning about their online histories – including accusations of dabbling in child pornography or downloading illegal content. Far from being a Police-authorized authority, the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus's sole goal is to force its victims to transfer money to criminals through vouchers, such as Paysafecard and Ukash. SpywareRemove.com malware research team can't see any justification for paying the fine that a Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus levies against you, but they do see sound logic in finding a way to disable and then delete the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus – in most cases, with some assistance from appropriate anti-malware software.

When It's Okay to Flout the 'Law'

The Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus claims to be a legal program that's designed to lock the computers of lawbreaking citizens. However, the real function behind the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus is to lock any PC that it infects regardless of whether or not that PC has been used for any type of crimes. Along with displaying basic nationalistic details like Slovakia's flag, the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus also displays your IP address as the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus attempts to convince you of its supposed legal standing.

The Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus's pop-up warning asks you to pay a relatively small fine within three days lest you be forced to pay a much higher one, along with other penalties, such as being sent to jail for an extended period. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers are pleased to confirm that this time limit is a bluff and that the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus isn't capable of initiating any attacks besides its initial ones – which include using its pop-up to prevent you from using any other applications. There's nothing to be gained by paying the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus's ransom, which is sent into criminal hands rather than to your local govenrment.

Why Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus is Crafty but Not Creative

The Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus, besides being a fairly obvious scam, also is a clear example of a Police Trojan that's based on previous ones. Although the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus clearly targets Slovakian citizens, SpywareRemove.com malware experts have identified very similar Police Trojans in other countries. Some modern examples of the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus's siblings encompass the International Cyber Security Protection Alliance Virus, the Malta Police Association Virus, Rikspolisstyrelsen Ransomware, Ministerio de Seguridad Ransomware, Cheshire Police Authority Ransomware, Policie České Republiky Ransomware, the United Kingdom Police Ukash Virus, Polizia Penitenziaria Ransomware and Policia Boliviana Ransomware.

Before you can remove the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus, SpywareRemove.com malware experts consider it necessary to disable the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus and its fake alert. Doing so usually entails each of two; a system boot from a peripheral device (the USB drive or any similar device) or Safe Mode. As soon as you can access your hard drive without seeing the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus's alert, you can use whatever anti-malware scanner you prefer for deleting the Ministerstvo Vnútra Virus.
