What is Cybercrime Investigation Department Virus?

Cybercrime Investigation Department virus is a scam designed by computer hackers who want to steal money from random computer users. It is a tricky ransomware that can target any computer system. Once inside, it locks computer completely and does not allow to do anything there. Basically, all you see is one message that looks like it’s coming from Canadian Cybercrime Investigation Department. The messages states that you have violated law by using or distributing some copyrighted content. According to the law you can be provided a fine of even deprivation of liberty for two to eight years. Here’s how the message looks like:

Police Cybercrime Investigation Department
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.
Article 128 of the Criminal Code provides for a fine of two to five hundred minimal wages or a deprivation of liberty for two to eight years.

Despite the fact that the message looks like a legitimate one, you must know that it has nothing in common with real Cybercrime Investigation Department. This is a clear scam that only tries to get access to your credit card and rip you off.
On the right part of the message you will see a Ukash payment system window where you will be able to pay a fine that is supposedly imposed for you. Stay away from doing so.
