Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section Virus

What is Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section?

The Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section message "Your PC is blocked due to at least one of the reasons specified below" is a scam, a ransomware virus created by cyber criminals. This fake message infiltrates users' systems via detected security vulnerabilities and blocks the computer screens.

Moreover, it makes false accusations of copyright violations and related rights infringements (or viewing and distributing prohibited pornographic content), and then demands payment of a $300 fine using MoneyPak.

This particular ransomware virus originates from a family of rogue software called Flimrans and targets PC users from the USA. Internet users should be aware that the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section does not use screen locking messages to collect fines. This is a scam and paying this fake fine is equivalent to sending your money to cyber criminals.

The Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section is one of many legitimate authorities whose names are exploited by cyber criminals in order to trick unsuspecting PC users into paying bogus fines. Ransomware viruses from this family (Flimrans) are localized so that Internet users from different countries observe the deceptive messages as if delivered from local authorities.

For example, computer users from Canada see this fake message as if sent by the Police Cybercrime Investigation Department, and for PC users from Australia, the scam is modified to appear as if sent from the Australian Federal Police.

If you see a message on your screen from the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section demanding payment of a fine using MoneyPak, ignore it and do not pay any fines. This is a scam.

The Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section ransomware virus is distributed using infected email messages, malicious websites, and drive-by downloads. The main reason for infiltration by this scam is outdated software (such as the operating system, Flash, Java, etc.) and lack of legitimate antivirus and anti-spyware programs.

Note that computer screen-blocking messages are used by cyber criminals - no legitimate authorities or organizations use such methods to collect fines for any law violations. If your computer is already infected with the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section ransomware virus, use the removal guide provided to eliminate this scam.
