The Cheshire Police Authority Ransomware Trojan Scams Inexperienced Computer Users

Like most Police Ransomware Trojans, the Cheshire Police Authority Ransomware tries to make the victim believe that they are being processed by the police. The Cheshire Police Authority Ransomware preys on inexperienced computer users' guilt by accusing them of viewing illegal pornographic material, allowing their computer to distribute malware and distributing or dealing with copyrighted content without permission. The Cheshire Police Authority Ransomware message lists penalties of thousands of pounds and years of jail time unless the victim pays a fine of 100 pounds. The scam does not stop at a threatening message; the main problem when dealing with malware like the Cheshire Police Authority Ransomware Trojan is that these kinds of threats lock the victim's computer, preventing the victim from accessing Windows or any files stored on the infected computer. Because of this, these kinds of malware attacks are often referred to as Winlockers.

Bypassing the Cheshire Police Authority Ransomware Winlocker is the most difficult part of removing this threat from your computer. ESG security researchers advise using Safe Mode to gain access to the Command Prompt and, from there, the Windows Registry Editor. However, some variants of the Cheshire Police Authority Ransomware can even disable Safe Mode. When this occurs, the PC user may need to boot the infected machine from a start-up CD or USB drive. Once access is regained to the infected computer, the Cheshire Police Authority Ransomware infection itself is not particularly difficult to remove, especially getting the assistance of a strong anti-malware tool.Screenshot
