‘Svensk National Bureau of Investigation’ Ransomware

Although the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware pretends to be sent by a cybercrime-based branch of the Swedish national police, the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware actually is a Police Ransomware Trojan that uses fraudulent alerts while locking your PC and blocking other programs. The 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware's fake alerts, which are themed for targeting the residents of Sweden, are used to cause the victims to believe that they've committed crimes that require financial compensation; but ransoms paid are actually sent to criminals, rather than the Swedish police. However, SpywareRemove.com malware experts don't see any need to pay the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware to unlock your computer, and recommend using strong anti-malware software to delete the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware without paying its fee or paying any attention to its illegal and inaccurate warning messages.

When a 'Federal Investigation' Pretends to Turn Up More Than There is to Find

The 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware, from a family that often employs non-consensual distribution techniques like drive-by-downloads (automatic website-based attacks that install malware by exploiting vulnerabilities in various types of software), is most easily identified by its warning message. This pop-up warning, which is designed to be displayed when Windows starts and doesn't respond to efforts to terminate it, minimize it or change its focus, always claims that the infected computer has been locked as a punishment for crimes like viewing child pornography or breaking copyright laws. However, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers note that all of these accusations aren't founded in any functions that would let the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware detect such criminal activities – and that the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware, despite the appearances of its pop-up, isn't affiliated with the Swedish government.

The 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware's pop-up alert only is a prelude to its more serious attacks, which block you from using your desktop or other Windows applications as a matter of course. In combination with the steadily-ticking-down timer embedded in its pop-up, the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware attempts to scare its victims into paying a ransom before other 'legal' penalties supposedly are triggered. For their part, SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend ignoring both the fraudulent information in the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware's pop-up and its ransom request, all of which are irrelevant to fixing your computer.

Closing the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware's False Investigation of Your Computer

As a fake Police Trojan, the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware doesn't have the power to penalize you by invoking lawful authority of any sort, and any suggested penalties – such as jail time or fines – can be ignored in total safety. However, the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware's Windows-blocking behavior is a security issue that SpywareRemove.com malware experts recommend resolving as soon as possible by disabling the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware. It should go without saying that once the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware has been disabled, any trustworthy anti-malware tool should be used to delete the 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware and any other malware that may be related to its presence. The 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware can't distribute itself and, in some cases, may use Trojan downloaders and other PC threats for this purpose.

The 'Svensk National Bureau of Investigation' Ransomware is a very definite danger to residents of Sweden, but the Swedish aren't the only ones put at risk of similar attacks.
