Threat Metric

The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.

The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:

Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.

Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.

Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.

Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.

% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

Threat Level:	9/10
Infected PCs:	39

The Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus is ransomware that claims that you're being penalized for using your PC to view illegal forms of erotica, although Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus isn't capable of detecting these crimes and isn't affiliated with the real FDJP. The Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus's pop-up will block other applications on your machine, supposedly until you pay a Paysafecard fine. Like any ransomware's fine, Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus's ransom shouldn't be paid, and SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend that you disable and then delete your Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus with a suitable anti-malware program.

Why You Will Not Find Justice with the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus

Although the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus uses a warning message that's presented in German, the other details of Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus's pop-up reference the nation of Switzerland, making it likely that the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus is intended to target German speakers of that country (which make up a majority of the population). The Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus's attack is very similar to attacks by the Bundesamt fur Polizei Virus, Bundespolizei Ukash Virus, Athens Security Prosecution of Electronic Crime Ransomware, 'Canadian Police Association' Ransomware, the Cuerpo Nacional de Policia Virus and other ransomware Trojans that have spread throughout the first world countries of Europe – and beyond it.

After the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus infects your PC, the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus launches itself automatically with Windows and displays a screen-covering and borderless pop-up window. This pop-up may claim that your IP address has been tied to various illegal acts that require financial compensation, but the only reason that, in the first place, the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus detects your IP address, is to determine a geographically-appropriate fake alert to load. SpywareRemove.com malware experts strongly urge you to avoid paying the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus's fine, which is illegal and can't help you remove the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus from your computer.

Stopping the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus from Running Roughshod Even When You Can't You Run Anything Else

The Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus's pop-up will block you from accessing Windows or other programs, and, as such, your first step to getting rid of the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus always consists of preventing the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus from starting itself. SpywareRemove.com malware analysts have found that booting an OS from a removable drive device, or more simply than that, just booting into Safe Mode, has proven helpful for disabling malware like the Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus.

Some ransomware similar to Federal Department of Justice and Police Virus also have been known to make severe modifications to the infected PC's security settings or even to install other malware.
