Although the Specialist Crime Directorate Virus may commonly be referred to as a virus, it is more correct to consider this malware infection a Trojan, more specifically a ransomware Trojan. These kinds of malware threats will take over the infected computer, take it hostage, and demand that the victim pay a ransom if they want to regain control of their computer. ESG security researchers strongly recommend that computer users should not pay the Specialist Crime Directorate Virus’ ransom since there is no guarantee that paying it will unlock your computer. Instead, the Specialist Crime Directorate Virus infection should be removed with a reliable security application.

Fighting a Specialist Crime Directorate Virus Infection

Basically, the Specialist Crime Directorate Virus will display a threatening message claiming that the infected computer was used to break the law. Some of the infringements the Specialist Crime Directorate Virus lists include illegally downloading copyrighted content and trafficking with child pornography. Even if these threats sound serious, you should avoid being intimidated by the Specialist Crime Directorate Virus. This malware infection is part of an online scam that criminals use to prey on inexperienced computer users. These kinds of malware threats are commonly referred to as ransomware because they effectively take the infected computer hostage and refuse to relinquish control until a ransom is paid. It should be clear that the Specialist Crime Directorate Virus has absolutely no relationship with the Specialist Crime Directorate or with any other kind of law enforcement agency.

The main problem with a Specialist Crime Directorate Virus infection is the fact that its threatening message blocks access to the infected computer. As long as the infected computer is infected with the Specialist Crime Directorate Virus, the computer users will not be able to gain access to their files, Desktop, or any other Windows components. Because of this, removing the Specialist Crime Directorate Virus may seem an impossible task. After all, how can you remove a malware infection with your anti-malware software if you cannot reach your anti-malware programs in the first place? To do this, ESG security researchers advise starting up the infected computer in Safe Mode. This can prevent the Specialist Crime Directorate Virus from loading automatically upon start-up and also give you access to the Command Prompt. From there, it is a relatively easy matter to gain access to the Windows Registry Editor, Task Manage or to your security software.
