International Cyber Security Protection Alliance blocks computers’ screen or Android phone and declares you have to pay a fine of $100 – $300 in form of a MoneyPak, Ukash or Paysafecard code, which is a scam virus. It is classified as ransomware infection which engages in threatening and forcing unwary computer users and Android phone users into paying the non-existent fine by accusing of activities against copyright laws, viewing or distributing pornography, spam distribution etc. Since the locked down message with full screen alerts seems more authentic, the International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus Android Lock has successfully swindled money from those unsuspecting computer users through performing the nasty common trick usually exploited by cybercriminal.
The common trick mainly includes two points. One is that the Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus makers display the designed scam virus notification that pretends to be from an official law enforcement agency like FBI. With computer locked up by the notification screen, victims must be scared and at loss what to do. The other is, because of your illegal activities (which can either be real or forged by the virus), some criminal cases must post against you. And you can see referred law Articles from the Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus locked screen. Meanwhile, it also deceptively points out that your PC will get unlocked in 1 to 72 hours after the money is put into the State’s account. As a matter of fact, the infected computers are still locked after payments. Taking both of two points into consideration, many innocent computer users must have fallen into the members of the Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus scam victims.
International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus scam keeps updating its version with specific location interface. Such as Royal Canadian Mounted Police virus, FBI virus (targets computer users mainly in the United States), Cheshire United Kingdom Police Virus (United Kingdom), New Zealand Police virus in New Zealand and Australian Federal Police ICSPA virus in Australia. The scam virus tries to attack computer users all over the world by distributing the pornographic material, SPAM and copyrighted content.
It is more easily to be trapped into the deceptive statics especially for those computer users who actually visited some porn sites. But now we can be sure that International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus is actually just a hackers´ scam attempting to swindle your money away via stating that you can avoid criminal case in time by paying the demanding amount of fine. What first thing you have to do is not paying but removing the International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus from the infected computer ASAP.
Huge damages and confidential data inevitably happen if you leave the International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus scam on your infected computer rather than remove it. First one, the scam virus will constantly exploit increasing number of system vulnerability to degrade your PC performance and allow hijacker to access through backdoors opened by ICSPA virus after its injection of vicious registry entries into the kernel part of a system. Actually, backdoors can be easily formed by ICSPA virus since we have thousands of terminals on a single computer; and the most commonly used are normally no more than 5 of them. The rest of terminals can be thus easily exploited by International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus for information exchange and alleviating installations of additional virus.
As a consequence, there is no doubt some troubles like computer slowdown, freeze, blue screen errors, encrypted files and disabled programs will happen. To crown it all, residual problems can happen given that International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus has been removed successfully simply because of the backdoors, such as search results being taken over by some redirect virus, browser being flooded by countless popup ads, additional programs are installed without consent especially rogueware like Anitmalware.
More importantly, once the International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus is bundled with other hijacker virus just like search.qone8.com redirect, the Internet Browsers (e.g. IE, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome) can be quickly compromised and tempered, placing affected users’ confidential data at the edge of theft as the virus maker can collect privacies and essential data by collecting browsing history, recording information and searching interests.
Attention should be paid to the kernel gear of International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus, which is Trojan. Trojan features itself with its capability of hiding malicious items, escaping detections and deletions by even powerful security utilities. The Trojan embedded in International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus would scan for all directories and files to choose the most secure folder placed in the directory where PC users normally consider it to be system’s pivotal place and no random changes should be made. ICSPA virus would then overwrite it so as to successfully confuse both PC users and anti-virus programs to avoid being easily removed.
The Trojan also boasts its ability to bind itself to build-in system services, leading to multiple appearance of system running process at the background. The system service running process commonly seen to be exploited by virus is svchost.exe that cannot be exterminated since it loads all services on a computer. Without it, the computer will become useless.In such case, anti-virus programs that are programmed to guard PC users from infections rather than randomly exterminated build-in services to trigger huge troubles will not able to remove International Cyber Security Protection Alliance virus completely and successfully.
Therefore, manual method is in need. However, computer skills and knowledge are required to implement the removal procedures to differentiate normal programs from vicious programs; otherwise, unexpected damages can also happen both overtime and instantly.
