Trojan.Ransom.ED is a Police Trojan that accuses affected PC users of performing illicit online activities and demands a ransom from victimized PC users. Trojan.Ransom.ED is used by attackers to spread ransomware or scareware. Trojan.Ransom.ED blocks the targeted computer and displays a fake full-screen pop-up image/warning message on the screen of the infected PC. Trojan.Ransom.ED pretends to come from legal law enforcement and declares that the PC user violated certain laws by downloading and viewing illegitimate images or pirated content and downloading and dispersing other forbidden material to PC users. Trojan.Ransom.ED asks the computer user to pay the fake legal ransom for supposed cybercrime actions to unlock the computer and avoid arrest. Do not pay the fine because ransomware delivered by Trojan.Ransom.ED is an online scam created by attackers to steal money from innocent computer users.
