GOZeuS and Cryptolocker. It has been discovered that this malware software is the cause of potentially one
of the most dangerous malware attacks in internet history - potentially putting millions of individuals and
business in the UK at risk. It is estimated that over 1 million computers worldwide are already infected with
GOZeuS and Cryptolocker, of which over 15,500 are UK based, and over £60 million has already been
stolen.

Have You Caught the Fake “Police Virus” its Ransomware
Are you locked out of your computer with images shown below
Have you had any alarming notices claiming to be from the police (or other law-enforcement authorities) pop up on
your computer, accusing you of various unpleasant and illegal activities and demanding a “fine”?
I can tell you - it’s all fake.
If you get a ‘warning’ like this when you turn on your computer, you’ve caught the ‘Police Virus’. This has nothing to
do with the real police- it’s an entirely fake criminal scam that uses made-up accusations as an excuse to hold your
computer to ransom. In short, it’s just another form of “ransomware”- malware designed to extort money from the
victim.
There are many variants of the messages shown by the police virus, often tailored to fit different countries. For
example, American versions claim to be from the FBI, Australian versions use their “Federal Police”, etc. Those in
the UK often claim to be from the “Metropolitan Police”, but we’ve seen the identities of other UK police authorities
used as well.
Demands for payment via the Ukash service are common in UK-based versions. (We should make clear here that
Ukash themselves are not the perpetrators of the scam).

We at TWComputers can remove the malware and secure your computer. We will also provide advice and software

There have been many bogus cold calls targeting people stating they are from Microsoft or Windows, they
claim your computer have either connected to certain websites or become infected with viruses and they
intimidate to allow remote access to your computer / laptop.
These calls are from fraudsters and completely fake.
This is to scare you into allowing them access to your PC or laptop so they install viruses and then show you
the viruses and then they remove asking for payment - total scam!

connect to your PC / Laptop etc.
