ANSSI virus is a ransomware that infects computers randomly using Trojan viruses. The infection is also known as Office Central de Lutte contre la Criminalité virus. The main goal of this malware is to make computer users believe that they were included into some illegal business and then steal money from them. Basically, the program warns that your IP address has been noticed to be related to some illegal activity, like using copyrighted content. ANSSI virus asks to pay a fine for that and obviously it uses a name of police in order to look more legitimate.
Once inside, ANNSI virus completely blocks the infected computer and doesn’t allow to do anything there. Many computer users find paying a fine the only solution for this problem. Unfortunately, that is not what they should do. The is no doubt that many users fall for this scam just because of its name. ANSSI stands for Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information, which is security related institution working in France. It is a smart step that creators of this badware took because a well known name makes the notification sound much more reliable. However, if you search for the information about this message on the Internet, you will soon find out it is a scam. Here is a part of it:
