Popcorn Time, the malware that forces you to sacrifice your friends

Virus

Today we are talking about Popcorn Time, and it has nothing to do with the viewing service via streaming of audiovisual content, this time this malware with such a peculiar name draws our attention. The characteristic of this malware is that it will definitely put you between a rock and a hard place, and it will force you to infect two friends with its code if you want your computer to be freed again. In this way, it ensures the spread by less popular and more conspicuous infection before seen, and is that it invites you to do the dirty work of spreading its malware.

What do you appreciate most, your money or your friends? Basically that is the question that Popcorn Time asks you right after hijacking your computer (as well as the famous "police virus"). And is that this virus found by MalwareHunterTeam and that media such as Gizmodo, it is quite peculiar. Its operation may not be very different from that of any type of infection of this type, however, this time we can quickly and easily get rid of this virus without going to the cash desk or going to the computer in our neighborhood, to which you never buy anything but you always go when the MediaMarkt things stop working for you.

The possibility of free disinfection is not so, it happens to infect the computer of two friends. Once you infect the computer of these two people, if they pay the fee, your computer will also be automatically released. The decision is to pay your, or hang the dead to your two friends in question. Although it's honestly okay for someone who does this to consider future infected "friends," I certainly don't want friends like that.

To get hold of the virus, all you have to do is access a infected link through any method of transmission of information or social networks. Likewise, alert, perhaps your friend is not so. Watch out for the links coming soon.
