Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) Virus Description

Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) Virus is a dangerous ransomware. I thought many users had the same experience that we were familiar with the AFP virus, but had no knowledge on the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) Virus. In this case, we all need to know that Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) Virus is the update version of the AFP virus, and this virus contains the AFP virus’ traits, which can lock down the target computer, and show fake warning message, and etc. in addition, this virus will cause more issues on the attacked computers.

The first thing is that this virus can block the compromised computer completely, and terminal all of processes in the task manager. Therefore, you cannot access into your desktop, and you cannot access to your internet, too. And your antivirus has also stopped working, so you cannot remove this virus by the antivirus program.

The second thing is that this virus will display scam warning message. When you open your computer, the alert message keeps pop-ups, and you cannot minimize the window of this warning. The alert message claims that “your computer has been locked” by Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), for you have violated of copyright law, and you have performed some illegal activities on your computer therefore your PC have been locked. To unblock your computer, and to avoid arresting by Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), you just need to pay a fine which is $ 100 dollar. If you do not pay the fine within 72 hours, you will be arrested by the local Australian Police, for the “Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)” has recorded your IP address and location. Many victims have to pay this fine, for they are afraid to be in jail. Please ignore this message, for this a fake message. You can realize that the real Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) will never send this message by the network. Besides, it asks you to pay the fine via Ukash which is a prepaid card which is hacked by the hackers, in that case, victims cannot trace the money and have no way to get their money back if you pay for it.

The most dangerous thing is that this virus can enter into the target computer without your knowledge. It can sneak into the system through clicking malicious links or unsafe advertising pop-ups, visiting illicit website or installing freeware, or downloading attachment from spam emails
