This launches the virus right as the user opens the attachment.

Many users will assume that they are in trouble for downloading pirated software and files, and quickly pay the fine in order to avoid additional fines and criminal charges.
Fines may only be paid within 72 hours after the infringement. As soon as 72 hours elapse, the possibility to pay the fine expires, and a criminal case is initiated against you automatically within the next 72 hours! The amount of fine is $100. You can pay a fine Ukash or PaySafeCard.
When you pay the fine, your PC will get unlocked in 1 to 72 hours after the money is put into the State’s account.
