Ramson.AN, a new and dangerous virus that hijacks Windows demanding 100 euros in 48 hours not to delete your files

It seems that the imagination of those who seek to harm our computers and illicit profit is endless. The last case refers to the virus known as Ramson.AN, which alerts us INTECO (National Institute of Communication Technologies).

After infection of our team via P2P clients, poisoned web pages, email attachments, spam or other mechanisms of transmission, we restart Windows to display a text in German where we are required to pay 100 euros in next 48 hours. Otherwise we are threatened with total deletion of data from your hard drive.

Obviously we should not have access to the blackmail, much less provide the data of our card for payment. INTECO himself offers a simple solution to eliminate this infection, which is to write the code in the field QRT5T5FJQE53BGXT9HHJW53YT form where you ask us.

After this, only we must restart the computer and the virus is gone. As always, I remind you that prudence is the best antivirus for our team and you must be wary of anything that you have not requested, as well as caution.
