AntiChild Porno Spam Protection virus
The AntiChild Porno Spam Protection virus (also found as Anti-Child Porn Spam Protection, AntiChild Porno Spam Protection 2.0 version, or Cryptolocker) is dangerous malware categorized as ransomware that blocks access or limits access to an infected computer system, claims to have encrypted the computers files, and further demands a fine or “ransom” of $500, $1,000, $1,500 USD in order to obtain a unique RSA key or number that when inputted into correct field on the lock-screen will allegedly remove the restriction and allow users to retrieve encrypted files; however, the AntiChild Porno Spam Protection virus rarely does actually remotely encrypt and obtain victim’s files and paying the ransom will not remove this computer virus.
