Internet Crime Complaint Center scam removal

Internet Crime Complaint Center warning is a new scam that belongs to the “ransomware” group of infections. This is a desktop locker, as well as the keyboard locker of the infected computer. Users who got this nasty Trojan can’t do anything to get their systems back to work. By the way, all the PC restart attempts turn out to be vain, irrespective of how many times the restart attempts were accomplished. The virus comes as a fake Internet Crime Complaint Center notification that says this:

flv_codec_pack_228_full.exe – file that may be infected with virus

Today there are many viruses in the world wide web that can be spread in various forms. Often hackers use all kinds of methods of implanting malwares into the potentially attackable computers.

We found about the name of this executable just recently and therefore hurry up to notify our readers about it.

Personal Protector 2013 virus removal tool

Personal Protector 2013 is a new virus that should be correctly understood as fake AV (bogus anti-malware utility).

The behavior of this scam is quite predictable and even similar to that of many other rogues. The program doesn’t ask for user’s permission to enter the computer.

This procedure is carried out with the participation of a special Trojan horse that is very dangerous and may even bring other malwares into your computer. You cannot find Personal Protector 2013 program in the list of your Control Panel where you can easily get rid of any legitimate installed program. Why is it so?

Restarting the computer doesn’t really help, irrespective of the number of restart attempts. The same locked status and the scary message remains. This message, by the way, is presented as some Polish police alert, but in reality this is the virus that is developed by the team of cyber hackers who want to deceive and trick users of Poland. Here is what the fake police warning message says:

Europol virus. European law enforcement agency ransomware removal

Europol is a good European Law Enforcement Agency that protects the legal rights of European residents. Today, regretfully, hackers user its good name for reaching their evil goals.

Your computer has been locked. International ransomware virus removal

“Your computer has been locked” is a scary notification that is represented in the form of a fake police warning. This is the virus that acts like a desktop (screen) locker.

And it doesn’t really matter how many times the computer is restarted – the system remains locked. Unlocking the PC is a challenge for many security blogs and online malware removal platforms.

Such type of virus is often referred to in many security blogs and sites as ransomware, even though not so many PC users in the world realize what exactly this is. Ransomware is a special type of malware that blocks the desktop of the infected computer, asking for certain amount of money to be paid in favor of its developers in order to unlock the screen. Today ransomwares are becoming more and more widely spread in the cyber world, and it seems that they have replaced another type of malwares known as rogues (rogue antiviruses). Who knows the fate of these two types of infections in the future, but as per now we can see that ransomwares are gaining a good niche in the entire cyber malware attack.
