What is Cybercrime Virus?

Cybercrime Virus is a group of ransomware infections that attack operating Windows systems. The faction may also be researched using Ukash, Paysafecard or Moneypak names, due to relation of these money transfer systems. Some of the most notable infections from the group are Cybercrime Investigation Department Virus, Eenheid Voor de Bestrijding Cybercrime Virus, Interpol Department of Cybercrime virus, Norsk Politi Institutt For Cybercrime Virus and Bundespolizei National Cyber Crimes Unit. All of these ransomware infections are presented with bogus screen locking notifications, which means that you will not be able to miss them running on the PC. Overall, if you notice a computer lock, you need to remove Cybercrime Virus in whichever form it may be presented.

Why should you delete Cybercrime Virus?

It has been discovered that schemers may implement rootkit Trojans, including the Reveton Trojan and Win32/LockScreen.Cl. This is bad news, because these applications are highly clandestine and may make it impossible for you to delete Cybercrime Viruses. Regardless, this should become your main goal once you notice such disturbing information on your computer’s screen:

Attention! Your PC is blocked due to at least one of the reasons specified below.
You have been violating Copyright and Related Rights Law (Video, Music, Software) and illegally using or distributing copyrighted content, thus infringing Article 128 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

You have been viewing or distributing prohibited Pornographic content (Child Porn/Zoophilia and etc).

Achtung!!! Das Betriebssystem wurde im Zusammenhang mit Verstoßen gegen die Gesetze der Bundesrepublik Deutschland gesperrt!

You may think that information presented in the fake notification is legitimate and reliable because all accusations will be presented alongside illegally used credentials. You should not think that Interpol, FBI, national Police departments or other agencies would ever contact you via computer lock or ask you to pay supposed fines via Ukash and other unreliable and untraceable payment systems. Additionally to this, you should also ignore attached logos, fake video recordings and contact details. Provided email addresses (e.g. fine@fbi.gov, info@cyberpolice.com, cybercrime@lokalepolitie.be, info@online-cyber-police.com, cyber@defense.fr, etc.) would simply allow schemers to collect your personal contact data, which could lead you to dangerous scams.

How to remove Cybercrime Virus?

You should not waste your money and pay completely fictitious fines, even if you think that $100 payment is low enough to regain control over your operating system. What you should do is remove Cybercrime Viruses as soon as possible before cyber crooks corrupt your system, download malware and steal your identifiable data.
