Important information about the ACCDFISA Protection Program virus:

ACCDFISA Protection Program virus is a ransomware-type infection that locks your computer screen and encrypts your files. It is a typical scam claiming that your computer was blocked due to illegal activities detected on your system, spam, and other malicious activities. In particular, the virus generates a legitimate-looking notification, supposedly a part of a Anti-Child Porn Spam Protection program, informing the computer’s owner that his/her computer is being used to spread child pornography-related spam throughout the web. The notification continues by explaining that due to these illegal activities, the computer has been blocked, and all the data on it has been encrypted. Even though the notification states that the computer’s files have been encrypted with an AES encryption algorithm, the virus actually compresses the files in RAR format and password-protects the archive. Luckily, such an encryption has not been much of a challenge for the computer experts, and the ACCDFISA virus was quickly decrypted. You can now find the decryption tool online but do not forget to take care of the ACCDFISA removal as well. FortectIntego or similar professional antivirus software can be used for this purpose.

Since this ransomware uses the lock screen after it takes over your computer, it is impossible to miss the ransom note it generates as soon as your computer is booted. In this note it is stated that the victim is required to pay $100 or around 90 Euro to solve this problem. You simply need to send SMS with Ukash, MoneyPak or Paysafecard code that you have received from nearest stores and your reference number. Scammers claim that you have 48 hours to solve this problem. Otherwise, all your files will be deleted without a possibility to recover them. We do not recommend paying the ransom since the decryption key for this virus has already been invented. Besides, they probably will send you the unlock code anyway. So, it is better to remove ACCDFISA from your system and carry on using your computer safely again.
