Windows Essentials Pro 2013

Posted: April 16, 2013 | Category: Rogue Anti-Spyware Programs | Threat Level: 10/10
Screenshot Windows Essentials Pro 2013 is a fake anti-malware scanner that combines inaccurate system warnings with imitations of system scans to make you believe that Windows Essentials Pro 2013 is a genuine anti-malware product. Windows Essentials Pro 2013's attacks habitually portray any compromised PC as being threatened by large quantities of PC threats that Windows Essentials Pro 2013 claims can be removed once you purchase its registration key, which, SpywareRemove.com malware experts flatly warn, is a senseless waste of your money. Windows Essentials Pro 2013 also may be included in...

Lebanese Internal Security Forces Virus

Posted: April 12, 2013 | Category: Ransomware
Screenshot The Lebanese Internal Security Forces Virus is one of multiple Police Trojans that recently have targeted Middle Eastern PC users with specially-crafted pop-up alerts. These fake pop-up warnings claim to have caught your PC being used for downloading or viewing illegal online content, but actually are displayed without any regard for your PC's online history. Since the Lebanese Internal Security Forces Virus's sole goal is to steal money by forcing you to pay a fake fine, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts encourage ignoring the Lebanese Internal Security Forces Virus's warnings and...

Lebanon Police Ransomware

Posted: April 11, 2013 | Category: Ransomware | Threat Level: 10/10
Screenshot Like the closely-related Abu Dhabi Police GHQ Ransomware, the Lebanon Police Ransomware marks the attempt of its family of Police Trojans to spread into the Middle East, with fake legal pop-ups that are localized for the country of Lebanon. Even though the Lebanon Police Ransomware can't detect illegal activities of any type, the Lebanon Police Ransomware claims to lock your computer on behalf of the national police as your punishment for online crimes. This scam actually has just one point: to force the Lebanon Police Ransomware's victims to pay a CashU fee, which SpywareRemove.com...

Kovter Ransomware

Posted: April 10, 2013 | Category: Ransomware | Threat Level: 10/10
A Police Trojan that uses warning messages similar to the FBI Cybercrime Division Virus and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Virus , the Kovter Ransomware claims that the Kovter Ransomware has locked your PC due to the presence of illegal content in your online history. The Kovter Ransomware scours your web-browsing history for any pornographic websites and displays one such website (if any are applicable) in its pop-up. In reality, the Kovter Ransomware is unrelated to any of the legal agencies listed in its pop-up, and any money you pay to unlock your PC will be sent...

iON Internet Security

Posted: April 9, 2013 | Category: Rogue Anti-Spyware Programs | Threat Level: 10/10
Screenshot iON Internet Security is a fake anti-malware scanner that detects legitimate names for PC threats such as worms and backdoor Trojans, but detects them regardless of whether or not they really are on your computer. Similar to scamware products like the unrelated System Care Antivirus or Vista AntiMalware 2010 , iON Internet Security continues to interfere with your PC usage and detect fake threats until you pay for its registration – a process SpywareRemove.com malware researchers explicitly do not recommend as a way of resolving an iON Internet Security infection. Because iON...

System Care Antivirus

Posted: April 9, 2013 | Category: Rogue Anti-Virus Programs | Threat Level: 10/10
Screenshot One of quite a few variants of a very well-distributed form of scamware, System Care Antivirus poses as an anti-malware scanner, but actually is a rogue anti-malware product that detects PC threats with deliberate inaccuracy. By detecting large amounts of fake infections and causing various system problems (such as blocking specific applications), System Care Antivirus hopes to convince victims to pay for registering its software, supposedly to 'fix' the above issues. SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend that you ignore any alerts or system information from System Care...

Abu Dhabi Police GHQ Ransomware

Posted: April 8, 2013 | Category: Ransomware | Threat Level: 10/10
Screenshot The Abu Dhabi Police GHQ Ransomware is an extension of a prominent Police Trojan family into the region of the Middle East, with designs, obviously, on residents of Abu Dhabi. As a quick copy-paste job of past Police Ransomware Trojans, the Abu Dhabi Police GHQ Ransomware displays well-defined characteristics like a fake police alert, ransom attempts through inappropriate cash transaction channels, and attacks that block you from using other Windows applications. Even though the Abu Dhabi Police GHQ Ransomware's pop-up claims to be sent by Abu Dhabi's local police as punishment for...

CashU ‘Computer Blocked’ Ransomware

Posted: April 8, 2013 | Category: Ransomware | Threat Level: 10/10
Screenshot The CashU 'Computer Blocked' Ransomware is a catch-all term for Police Ransomware Trojans that utilize CashU-based ransom preferences, akin to the Ukash company's relationship to variants of the Ukash Virus . Police Trojans falling under the CashU 'Computer Blocked' Ransomware's label routinely attack Middle Eastern regions like the United Arab Emirates, and display warning messages that claim to lock your PC on behalf of entities like the Abu Dhabi Police GHQ. SpywareRemove.com malware analysts must stress that the CashU 'Computer Blocked' Ransomware actually isn't a communication...

Bundeskriminalamt Ransomware

Posted: April 8, 2013 | Category: Ransomware | Threat Level: 10/10
Screenshot The Bundeskriminalamt Ransomware is a fraudulent Police Trojan that displays child pornography-themed pop-up alerts to encourage victims to pay its fake legal fine and, supposedly, remove the embarrassing 'legal warning.' The Bundeskriminalamt Ransomware appears to be most involved in targeting European victims, with its primary targets including residents of Germany and a variant attack for residents of the United Kingdom. Like any Police Trojan, the Bundeskriminalamt Ransomware should not be paid to remove its pop-up and cannot penalize you legally for refusing to pay its ransom. To...

ANSSI Ransomware

Posted: April 4, 2013 | Category: Ransomware | Threat Level: 10/10
Screenshot ANSSI Ransomware is a Police Ransomware Trojan that displays fake ANSSI warnings while requesting fraudulent money transfers that are disguised as legal fines. ANSSI Ransomware's variants include multiple types of Police Trojans that target French PC users, including the Office Central de Lutte contre la Criminalité Ransomware , and their attacks never are indicative of any type of real law enforcement action against your computer. Because paying to unlock your computer from ANSSI Ransomware's popup is a risky solution, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers recommend an alternative:...

Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü Ransomware

Posted: April 2, 2013 | Category: Ransomware | Threat Level: 10/10
Following in the footsteps of other brands of Middle Eastern Police Trojans like the Türk Polisi Virus , the Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü Ransomware displays fake alerts that are intended for residents of Turkey – as denoted by its references to that nation's General Directorate of Security. With a well-honed If perhaps overused) strategy, the Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü Ransomware insists that your PC has been used for online crimes and that financial amends must be made. However, any money that's collected by the Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü Ransomware actually is funneled to...

Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware

Posted: April 2, 2013 | Category: Ransomware | Threat Level: 10/10
Screenshot A Police Trojan that targets PC users within the border of Latvia, the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware creates desktop-blocking warning messages that appear to be from that country's police, but actually are designed by criminals who are hopeful of collecting fake legal 'fines.' Besides its corresponding police alert, the Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware also prevents you from using most other applications or accessing your desktop by closing the pop-up. The Latvijas Valsts Policija Ransomware is a confirmed variant of other Police Ransomware , and SpywareRemove.com malware...

Policía Nacional del Ecuador Ransomware

Posted: April 2, 2013 | Category: Ransomware | Threat Level: 10/10
The Policía Nacional del Ecuador Ransomware is a Police Ransomware that targets residents of the Republic of Ecuador with fraudulent criminal warnings. These warnings involve common online crimes (such as various types of illegal downloads) and demand that their victims pay a fine, with the Policía Nacional del Ecuador Ransomware locking the infected computer and blocking all software access until the fine is paid. As malware, the Policía Nacional del Ecuador Ransomware isn't linked to Ecuador's police and doesn't need to be paid, and SpywareRemove.com malware experts heartily endorse...

Police Rendőrség Ransomware

Posted: April 2, 2013 | Category: Ransomware | Threat Level: 10/10
The Police Rendőrség Ransomware is a Police Ransomware that claims to have blocked your PC as a penalty for a range of diverse online crimes (such as downloading copyrighted files or viewing illegal erotica). However, the Police Rendőrség Ransomware displays its system-locking warning even on computers that haven't been used for any illegal activities, and SpywareRemove.com malware experts easily confirmed the Police Rendőrség Ransomware as a relative of preexisting PC threats like the POLITIE Belgique Police Fédérale virus . The the Police Rendőrség Ransomware isn't...

‘You Have Been Blocked from Our Website’ Virus

Posted: March 31, 2013 | Category: Ransomware | Threat Level: 10/10
Heavily reminiscent of the recently-noticed 'This website has been blocked for you!' Virus , the 'You Have Been Blocked from Our Website' Virus is another browser hijacker that disguises its browser-redirecting attacks as security protocols. A 'You Have Been Blocked from Our Website' Virus infection will redirect you to a fake survey site that claims to be acting as a barrier against potential bot-based activities (similar to a CAPTCHA field), but the 'You Have Been Blocked from Our Website' Virus's actual point is to harvest your personal information through its fake surveys. Most...
