New Zealand Police virus. How to remove

It is quite a surprising fact that recently new countries have been added by hackers into the list of those attacked by their ransomware lockers. This time New Zealand suffers as well, being actively targeted by ransomare attacks. The warning suddenly comes up on the compromised PC, supposedly originating from New Zealand Police. It is also known as Ngā Pirihimana O Aotearoa in the native language. The methods of scaring users have not changed dramatically in this ransomware sample. Similar to other versions of this infection, New Zealand Police virus accuses users of performing various sorts of crimes online, and this is how the locker explains the reason for the computer being blocked. Surely, the first thing in the mind of computer user is that indeed the system got locked by the police. However, the deep analysis of this scam gives us all the grounds to assert that this scary warning isn’t associated with the Police of New Zealand at all. Instead, it is the product of cyber frauds who want to gain possession over your funds. The tricks of the crooks are surely instrumental.
