How to Remove Arestocrat Virus? Is It A Scam?

Arestocrat Virus is one of the latest computer locked viruses that is associated with the malicious Ransomware called Department of Justice Virus (also called DOJ Virus). It will be installed silently when you visit infected website or click malicious advertisements. Nowadays, Ransomware starts to spread over the Internet and most Ransomware parasites get installed by other threats like worms or trojans. They get into the system without user’s knowledge and consent and affect everyone who uses a compromised computer. Once it is downloaded, Arestocrat virus blocks users from accessing their desktop by displaying a fake notification all over their screen. The notification delivered by Arestocrat virus is supposed to push users into paying a fine within a certain period of time such as 48 hours or 72 hours. However, every notification or alert of this virus must be ignored no matter how convincing they might seem to be. It is a scam and users should never be fooled by that.
