Los Pollos Hermanos - The Chicken Brothers. Also I notice, After all, Los Pollos Hermanos was created to profit from extorting money from innocent computer users, so it is hard to believe anything this application says. What's more, Los Pollos Hermanos has a theme that is based on the Breaking Bad TV series and the infection spreads through the means of social engineering.For example, Los Pollos Hermanos is a ransomware program that affects users.Los Pollos Hermanos tries to provide you with a way out of this situation by telling you how to obtain Bitcoins and how to pay the ransom fee.https://context.reverso.net/translation/german-english/los+pollos+hermanos Don't know if this is so or not!But beware!
Amendment:-

Mark says this is merely a reference to Breaking Bad and the files are harmless.
But hey! these days it pays to be careful!

That's NOT Spanish!  The Chicken Brothers, in Spanish, would be:  Los Hermanos Pollos.  TERRIBLE  grammar!  But then, Anglo-Americans don't learn any other peoples languages, EVEN if almost half of the people living in their states or counties only speak those languages.

Oh aye! You're right Robb. But you don't have to even learn Spanish to get it a bit more accurate.  Adding a Spanish spellcheck or dictionary to your search engine will do the trick.  Mind, I'd rather learn a bit of the language - much more fun. And it lets you read those non-English comics. ;D
I suppose it could be a joke, eh?!

Yes, I wonder if that was a colloquial regional way of emphasising the importance of the word, CHICKEN, to imply the characteristic of cowardice (e,g, running away from danger in a panic, the way chickens do?  However, I hadn't come across that use of word order in Spain, or northern Mexico, or among The Chicanos of Los Angeles, or New Mexico.

Spellcheck, and even the best of grammarcheck programmes won't always catch a word-order error, especially in languages in which different word orders are regularly used to emphasise different words in the same sentence to produce a very different meaning.  That's why it is ALWAYS much better to have, at least. a basic knowledge of, and familiarity with, foreign languages of people with whom one deals, otherwise detrimental misunderstandings can occur, even when using fairly well-proven digital language translation programmes.  I get some of my best laughs from innocent translation attempts which overlook word order context differences between the 2 languages in the translation, and in addition, when Internet forum posters attempt to use a machine language translation programme to feign proficiency in their own skill in writing a language that is not their native tongue.

I wanted to add my two cents, partly because I am one of the "Brothers Chickens". That is, I am the editing part of the two-person team that calls ourselves "Los Pollos Hermanos".  I took Spanish in high school, and I understand the rule about putting adjectives after nouns. However, both "pollos" and "hermanos" are nouns, so that rule doesn't apply; the phrase can be said either way. It can be either "the brothers that are chickens" or "the chickens that are brothers". However, I am not a native Spanish speaker, so I couldn't tell you for certain. I notice that if I say "los pollos hermanos" and "los hermanos pollos", the former rolls off the tongue a little nicer.

Of course, as has been noted, this phrase is the name of a fictional restaurant from a TV show, so take it for what it's worth.  We picked the name for our scanning team because we are both fans of the TV show that originated the phrase.

PS - regarding not encountering this word order in Spain, Mexico or Los Angeles, you should be aware that the two characters in the "Breaking Bad" TV show that created this phrase are from Chile.

Thanks for the heads-up. I hadn't seen that Avatar used for a post here before - which is why I was curious.
Even with my nearly non-existant Spanish, its not hard to guess the meaning.
Los Hermanos  - the Brothers.
Pollos - chickens.
Also the fact that it was a plural phrase also made me curious.
So I looked it up and got some rather conflicting explanations for the meaning.
I have never watched Breaking Bad, so that connection was a new one for me.
As for the word order, one of the references I found said that it was a 'slang' term In other words,'Street' Spanish.Which makes perfect sense to me. 

Cheers!
