Restore Point for Infected PCs: Internet Crime Complaint Center virus locker. How to remove

Internet Crime Complaint Center is a brand new scareware developed by some hackers who want to get money by deceiving and tricking users. This virus is categorized as ransomware, because it hijacks the computer, locks it and then asks users to pay some amount of money in order to have it unlocked. Even though this virus claims to be originating from the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), it has nothing to do with this reputable and well-known US governmental organization. So, be very careful when you get this nasty trojan on your machine. Beware of the fact that it came into your system as a result of hackers' "productive" activity, but you should not obey their commands!

As we've already mentioned, once Internet Crime Complaint Center scam enters your system it immediately locks it with its unusual warning that accuses user of committing various crimes online through the infected (locked) computer. Here is what the text of the accusation says:

Saved data will be used for identification. Illegal activity report is sent to government agencies. Threat of prosecution reminder You have been violating Copyright and Related Rights Law (Video, Music, Software) and illegally using or distributing copyrighted content, thus infringing Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8, also known as the Copyright of the Criminal Code of United States of America.
