Police Cybercrime Investigation Department is a good law enforcement organization of Canada, and it is not associated with development or distribution of the malicious application depicted at the screenshot below. Instead, what you see is a typical ransomware program that was developed by the team of online hackers in order to collect money from deceived users. How can you unlock your PC effectively? The answer to this question can be found in the paragraphs below.
Once the Police Cybercrime Investigation Department ransomware attacks the PC it locks the screen completely and then reports the following message:
POLICE CYBERCRIME INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT

If you use a webcam , videos and pictures were saved for identification

You should not trust the information you see depicted at this screenshot. It is not a real police warning. Again, this is a virus that was prepared specifically for the purpose of deceiving and tricking users, making them waste their funds. By the way, Ukash and Paysafecard payment systems are actively used for collecting funds in favor of the crooks, even though these two decent payment processing companies aren’t associated with this malware program at all. So, be careful! Do not indicate any of such financial information in favor of online fraudsters. Make sure and delete this pest from your PC as described below.
